I own a HP pavilion Dv3 Notebook. I have ATI RADEON HD 4550 installed in the notebook. I want to remove it and install nVidia GeForce 9500 GT in the notebook. So i want to check if ATI video card is installed in the motherboard or not. Please help as i need to change the card urgently.
Thanks in advance :)|||Your video chipset is not replaceable. This is the case with all modern notebooks.
Notebooks don't use video "cards". They have a graphics processor chip integrated into the motherboard. There is no slot for you to install replacement graphics cards.
This was the case with older notebooks that used MXM slots, but they no longer exist.|||There are some MXM cards made
Mobility RADEON HD 4550 or GeForce 9500M GT are NOT made in MXM cards
The list of current MXM cards is very short and available mostly to manufacturers only
3 from Nvidia
GTX 260M
GTX 280M
GTS 160M type 3.0
3 from ATI
HD5870 3.0 Type B
Type II HD4650
Type II HD4570

You can find them on ebay for about $600 USD
And you must have a laptop motherboard with an MXM slot
You do not have an MXM slot
It makes a lot more sense to get a new laptop
*The GTX 480m is now made on an MXM card also
