Can one upgrade the video card from ATI 7500 to ATI 9600?

#1 Post by craigg » Wed Mar 09, 2005 3:02 pm

I was planning to order a custom built T42. I tend to prefer the 14.1" screen; however I can't build that unit with the ATI 64mb Mobility Radeon 9600. The only option for a CTO 14.1" laptop is the ATI Mobility Radeon 7500. Does anyone have any experience in swapping video cards as well as a source to acquire one at a reasonable price?

Thanks in advance!
