I wanted to upgrade the GPU on my Acer Apsire laptop and i'm completely new to the laptop thing, it does appear to be quite harder then a desktop.
I have two GPU's: integrated Intel that i won't touch, and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce 610M with PCI-express 1.1 x16 bus that i wanted to switch for something better.
My questions are:
1. since i have a "dedicated" graphics card, it does mean that i can replace it for another, correct? Or is there anything else i need to check to see if it's removable and such?
2. I've heard that i need to know the wattage supply of..something, on my laptop, to see if the GPU that i want to place there is gonna get enough power. I have no clue as to how to do that, so how would i go about finding that out?
3.since i have a PCI-express 1.1 x16 bus, i've heard that i can replace it with any GPU that has a PCI-express bus, is that correct?
