I have a Gateway NV53
My current graphics card is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series with 256mb of memory. (I would like to add more but the bios is maxed out)

I have 4gigs of ddr2 ram.

I was wondering if this laptop has a pci slot, if so, what support graphics card would be good for this? Around the $60 range...THANKS!

laptops are hard to determine if an upgrade is worth it or not, as a laptop battery having to power a new card is going to use far more power, unless you constantly use the charger. You will be able to put a GPU in that slot and it will come with benefits, but heat and power consumption is all you need to worry about.
