Are you prepared to spend over $200?

most laptops you cannot change them - short answer is buy a new laptop/desktop.

as apache says: most laptops don't permit you to change the gfx card. you'd have to get a desktop / upgrade your laptop

in that I don't see why you would want to change your video card.

anyways, laptops don't offer you that flexibility. you're stuck with what you got.

So... don't upgrade your laptop...
upgrade your desktop then, or maybe buy a new whole system...

i cant afford to buy a new system cause i just bought this one just over a year ago that is why i just want to put a video card in my laptop and my desktop runs on windows 98 since i had to get it redone and it looks up on me all the time.
