Hi,

Can I install an ATI 9000 or 9600 Mobility in my Insprion 8600 that already has an onboard Intel card?

Thanks,
Rich

No. If you ordered one initially with integrated graphics you are using a different variation of the Intel 845 chipset that does not support dedicated graphics. This model will not even have an AGP slot on the motherboard let alone native support should a card be installed.

Only option there would be expensive... you would have to upgrade the motherboard to one with the AGP slot (using 845PM chipset) and then also get a graphics card for it.
