unless you bought a high end Alienware laptop. You are pretty much screwed. Laptops cant be upgraded as desktops cause it's a chip soldered on the mobo that makes the GPU on MOST of the laptops. If you want to upgrade, sell you laptop and buy one with a better video chipset or put a shitload of money in a Alienware laptop.

ah, ok. I think I'll stick to what I have. Thanks. Anyone else know about video cards in laptops?

You could buy a docking station that has either a PCI or AGP expansion slot in it.

You could then put a new video card into the docking station. However the graphics will only be output to an external monitor that is connected to the docking station.

It won't upgrade your notebook video card.

lmao @ the pics on your sig aussieninja. but yea...um.... back on topic. the only thing thats alittle easier to upgrade on a laptop is the ram. anything else is pretty much stuck there. or if u can try going to the website for the company who made it and see what u can find. if that dont work then iono what u can do

Alot of notebooks can also have their CPU upgraded as they are socketed chips and not soldered.

Hard disks can also be upgraded with ease on pretty much all notebooks.
