Upgrade Laptop video card?

Is this possible to do? HP Tech support claims no...

My computer specs are complicated because I have a customer model so I'll list them as it shows in my purchase order....

ordered from v2000 base but model number shows this as a v2300....



Compaq Presario V2000Z customizable Notebook PC

* Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Home Edition with SP2

* AMD Turion(TM) 64 ML-32 (1.8GHz/512KB L2 Cache)

* FREE Upgrade to 14.0 WXGA BrightView Widescreen!!

* ATI RADEON(R) XPRESS 200M w/productivity ports

* 512MB DDR SDRAM (1x512MB)

* 60 GB 5400 RPM Hard Drive

* DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive

* 54g(TM) 802.11b/g WLAN w/ 125HSM/SpeedBooster(TM)



any replies or resources would really help....|||The reason why HP says No is simple.



Your current ATI video graphics adapter is built into the motherboard of that model computer. That means all of the componentws necessary to make the video work are integrated in with all the other components to make the laptop work. The video adapter is not a separate thing on your laptop (or most laptops) so it cannot be replaced and upgraded.



Sorry.|||sorry laptop IGP's cant be upgraded...
