Not to sound negative, but that kind of goes without saying. Perhaps I should've refined my query more. Does anyone have "specific knowledge" of the HP DV6500 laptop, and more precisely, are there any newer mobos that have CUDA enabled GPUs? I am well aware that I might opt to purchase a newer better branded laptop, but the money tree crop has withered away in a past heat wave and I am stuck trying to mix match things to accomplish the things I am interested in accomplishing. Zahnoo, thank you for your time and consideration, however I was unable to find what I was looking for and hoped to revisit this query in the hopes of reaching more MDL members. Thanks again though.
