Best Graphics Card

[Bob15]

Hi I have an intel core 2 duo 2.2 ghz dell laptop with an Intel GMA X4500MHD graphics card. I was wondering what the best compatible upgrade would be for $100 or less?

Also it needs to be windows 7 compatible.
thanks

In 90% of cases the graphics cards in laptops cannot be upgraded yours is part of that 90%. And the GMA 4500 MHD is integrated which means it is soldered onto the motherboard so it isn't even removable.

That sucks but thanks
so the only possibility would be if i eventually upgrade the motherboard than right

Nope like I said most laptops except for extreme custom gaming laptops cannot have the graphics cards upgraded. At all. You can't upgrade the motherboard either.

The only components in laptops that can be upgraded are the cpu, ram, hard drive, and perhaps wireless card.

So basically, you're out of luck.

Agreed. Laptops are not generally upgradeable.

Hello
Yes as edea said you can't upgrade it unfortunately,there are few laptops which allow users to upgrade VGA (like some Sager models).
However Intel 4500M HD is compatible with win7
