Hello all!

I have a HP ZV5000 Laptop which currently has a Nvidia Geforce Go 420 32MB Graphics Card in it. I've seen a Geforce Go 7700 256MB for sale....Will it fit my laptop?? I have no idea on compatibility of cards within laptops, so any answer would be much appreciated.

TIA,

Fred.

Highly doubtful. Most video cards are integrated onto the motherboard.

Now to the video card. Very few notebooks (http://www.techsupportforum.com/#) let you upgrade their video adapters - usually only if they were quite expensive and are high end. It is not possible with your model.

Max out your ram but see if you can change the video ram allocation in bios first.

As far as I know, only some DELL laptops or laptops with the newer MXM graphics cards are upgradeable. Dell however, must use their own proprietary models. Alot of the newer Acers have MXM.
