Hp pavilion slimline s7700n video card upgrade?

is it possible to upgrade the video card for it? it has an onboard nvidia 6150 LE..thank you...|||Sure it is possible my bro had a dell and he upgraded to a 8800GTS 640 a while back.

NewEgg list quite a few such cards...

The Sparkle 9400GT looks pretty tasty... avoid brands with plenty of "open box" availability, surely someone will have returned them for a reason. Avoid the MX4000 and the FX5200 - the 9250 doesn't have much to recommend it either.
