hey! is it possible to upgrade the GPU or is this just for replacing exactly the same part?

Ben - Responder

I am guessing you can upgrade them with OEM parts, but where would we find them?

Fernando Bernardino -

Yes. I recently swapped out D300 pairs for D700 pairs without a blip. I did an NVRAM reset afterwards just to be safe.

Technology Research -

I have the D300s, and would like to upgrade to the D500s or D700s. Where might I find the replacement graphics cards? Also, any recommendations on service providers who would do this procedure?

Chris M Balz - Responder

I'd love to know this as well. The only reason I picked up the ,ad pro was the potential for upgrades. As it turns out D300s are crap. I can't even run boot camp properly.
