Upgrading the HP Pavilion HDX X16-1040US. I don't think this will be necessary for a good while but I'm just curious. The laptop has 1 Expansion slot. It says the card slot is 54 or 34, which I am assuming is the size of the slot. (Don't quote me.) Can I use that slot for a physics card? Can the laptop even support a physics card? If I ever found the need to, would I be able to swap the graphics card that comes with the laptop for a better one? If so what slot type should I be looking for? Like I said, I honestly don't think I'll have to upgrade for a lil while cause what it comes with is already state of the art status. But I'm curious. Thanks guys!

to my knowledge you can not put a physics card in there. and you will not be able to replace your graphics card. if your going to want to upgrade your graphics card your going to have to either buy a new laptop or a new motherboard for that laptop. i would recommend a new laptop.

Cant put a physics card or gpu in there, but if you have a geforce 8 or 9 series card it might support physx(or do all 8 and 9 series support physx?) on the gpu.
