Will there is there any option to upgrade the video on a 5670?
can you just buy notebook video cards and install? or are there no options.

And where is the video located on the board?

the 5670 i believe can only be upgraded by changing the whole motherboard because the video is intergrated, but that's supposed to change on the 5680

Unfortunately, 8890 and 5680 will be the same. We won't be able to upgrade the video chip without changing the whole systemboard. I wish they could design the better systemboard for 8890/5680.
