They say it can't be done.

My latop, an HP Pavilion dv6000 ( It was so cheap, how could I not buy it? )
has an integrated Nvidia go 6150 video card.
Is it possible to remove this and put in a better video card?
I've heard it's only possible on Dell's.
It's 2007, so I was hoping this might be possible.
Anyone know if it can be done?

    I've seen it done on dells yes.
    But don't think it's possible on yours, the current card is on-board and there prolly isn't a pci-express mini slot or whatever they use for the mobile graphics on that mobo..

    An integrated graphics processor cannot be removed and if your laptop is 'cheap', then I can pretty much guarantee that you can't put an expansion card in.

    Very few notebooks have upgradable graphics. Notebooks aren't designed for upgradability, they're designed for mobility. 99% of the time the video chipset is on the notebook's motherboard, and cannot be removed.
