[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 929606, member: 56379"] Your kind of using the wrong terminology is a couple of places. First the graphics hardware on MacBook Pros is on a chip or chips which is soldered onto the logic board...it's not on a stand alone graphics card that can be removed. Second, even if the graphics hardware on a MacBook Pro could be easily removed...it wouldn't be an "upgrade"...it would be a "replacement"...since you would be removing bad or non-working hardware & replacing it with good hardware of the exact same specs (but this cannot be done anyway). The bottom line is...the graphics hardware on a MacBook Pro cannot be upgraded or easily replaced by the user. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
