upgrade notebook GPU?

I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade the GPU for HP notebooks or any notebook?

Im looking to get the HP dv9225 with the 7600 Go.
and I was just wondering (in case I was completely dissatisfied with its gaming ability or if newer more graphic intensive games come out in the future) if I could buy and install a more powerful notebook GPU.

 

Nope. They are permanently affixed on the pcb in all HPs.

 

It is not possible to upgrade the GPU.

 

As everyone else has said, the graphics card is not upgradeable. Only a small percentage of notebooks had upgradeable graphics in the MXM standard, but they had to adhere to thermal and power limits. Anywa, the graphics card in the HP DV9000 series is more than powerful enough to run the latest games at medium to high settings.

 

Read the Upgrading GPU guide for more information.

 

It's funny how many pple miss that nice bold sticky at the top of the forum.

 

Youll need a new motherboard to upgrade your GPU, and the cost of that can really be over the top, as much as the cost of buying a new notebook perhaps.

 

Haha yeah but I'm so use to it now. It's like this everywhere.

I go on GameFAQs' message boards once and awhile to help out with a few games (usually the ones that I really like or that I'm playing). The site is full of guides for the games that will answer pretty much every question someone might have. All they have to do is look at a guide to get a quick answer for what they need. Instead they all rush to the message boards and ask the question (and the question was probably already asked by someone else that same day).
I don't understand how people never use the resources and information they have available.

For example, right now I'm playing Final Fantasy VI Advance. I'll sometimes go to the FFVI A message boards. We'll get questions on Sabin's Blitz, like one that said "no matter what I do, blitz won't work - please help". If you take the time to look under FAQs & Guides for the game you'll notice there's a Blitz Guide that will tell you everything you need to know about it.

I'll stop my rant.

 

The problem with many older boards is that the Sticky threads get out of control in size and quantity. Many new users will simply bypass a thread that consists of 75 pages of questionably dated and/or irrelevant material. Either that, or they see 25 Sticky threads at the top of every subforum and become quickly overwhelmed.

I'm sure we've all seen forums like that around the web.

 

Maybe forums should have a filtering of some sort. As soon as someone types a combination of "gpu" "upgrade" "laptop" or something, they should get an error message saying to go check the stickies.

I know this technology is used in some chat rooms. I try to type in "yahoo" or "aol" or "america online" to give out my corresponding screename to someone I was talking to, but everytime I press enter with those words in the typing box, the response simply doesnt go thru like i just typed a blank line. No matter how many times I do it, it gets rejected. I have to write "yim" or "ey ohh el" to get my message accross and not get rejected by the server.

I guess this is a little harsh, but I'd love to see that someday, really cut down on useless posts.

 

Or, it is generally common sense to do at least a quick search before asking questions on a topic - or so you'd think. I am probably more anal than most, and generally research something to death before I finally ask questions. I suppose in many instances these are people with little overall experience with online forums and such. In other cases, people are just plain lazy.
