Dell XPS M1210
Intel Centrino duo core 2 Ghz
2GB ram
Nvidia GeForceGo 7400 (needs to be replaced)
As stated above my graphics card really needs to be replaced. I am looking for suggestions on what card to put in or even just someone to tell me how to find out what kind of card will fit in it. I am looking for a decent graphics card that can run new games on reasonable graphics settings but that wont break the bank. I have looked at a few at NewEgg but i just dont know what kind will work with my comp. Thanks

i'm not sure if it has MXM or not, more than likely you are stuck with that

Thanks^^ but i may just be newb when it comes to working on my own comp but even with the recomendation as to which type of chip i should have in the graphics card i still cant seem to tell what will fit in my laptop. From what i can see on newegg they seem to be almost all for desktops. Maybe im wrong?

Notebooks are very bad asconcerns of upgrading Graphic card. I would suggest you to look after whole new portable system.

On most laptops, the graphics are integrated on the motherboard and as such, cannot be removed or replaced.
