Now, I'm not exactly complaining about my current graphics- but i was wondering if it was possible to upgrade my current laptop graphics with it being a dedicated card. I remember a few years ago I researched the same thing, and learned of MXM cards.
So really I have two questions, what kind of integrated PCI-E x16 slot do I have, and am I able to upgrade my card at all? (Short answer would be yes/no, and long answer would be yes with whatever problems, such as 'you may need a bios update', etc etc)
I currently have an HP dv6-6188ca
Specs
CPU: AMD A8-3510MX Quad-Core w/ AMD Radeon HD6620G
Dedicated GPU: AMD Radeon HD6750M 1GB GDDR5
===Although I don't think you need the extra specs, I'll put them out there anyways===
RAM: 8GB DDR3
OS: Windows 7 Pro x64
On another note, I am not worried about overheating, as under full load with an overclocked CPU (the A8-MX is surprisingly overclockable on this laptop) and the dual-GPU stress testing... usually taps out at 58C. Cooling is not a problem.
