Nope - it's soldered to the motherboard
I just wanted to know, if its possible to replace the ATI raedon graphics card with something better??

If only... :)
Previous poster is correct, it is a motherboard intregrated chipset, an actual part of the board itself so nothing can be done with it.

From a theoretical standpoint, with enough soldering experience and know-how, would it not technically be possible?

Seriously? No.
You'd have to find an IGP that had the exact same electrics/thermals, then re-write a custom bios for the board.
you're better off just buying the new one when it comes out.
which, coincidentally is right around the corner

Considering also that it is a litteral part of the PCB of the motherboard, I would be damn impressed if anyone could somehow replace it even with master knowledge of soldering. =)

MArgentieri -
I did not intend to suggest it to be reasonable, just curious if it would be possible after seeing some mean mods done with consoles.
