I'm bummed out about this too. I was hoping to install a nice spare video card I have but it turns out I can not. It comes with sp2 installed also. Is there any way to remove sp2 without having to format and reinstall Windows? thanks.

Why can't you update the video card?

Because there is no APG port. You could go PCI if you wanted with a lower end card.

So even though there's a graphics card that ships with the system, it's not possible to take it out and replace it?

Doesn't make sense to me?
