[caroliina]

Since I play a lot of games i decided i need a new graphics card to be able to play some of the newer games i want. My graphics cards is currently ATI Radeon Xpress 1150, up to 128-MB shared system memory. Thats kind of low for me. I have a hp compaq nx 6325 laptop and i was wondering whether i should change it and to what.
I can add additional info if necessary but its all available on the following address

Laptops aren't meant to be used in playing high demanding games. The ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 is integrated into the motherboard and is probably the best you are going to get.

Okay the first thing you should be aware of is that that is an integrated graphics chip, you currently do not have a discrete card. As a result I don't think you have a slot to plug one in.

However, the express card slot is capable of PCI-E. There is not an express card graphics accelerator but you can purchase a "PCI-E expansion chasis" to plug a low power card into (no more than 55w).

This will all get very expensive very fast so I can't really recommend it.
