Sony upgrade video card

[jesst]

Hello,
I have a Sony VGCRB34G.
I want to upgrade my Radeon X300 series video card. Can I use the
Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 512MB PCI-Express Video Card

should be fine, but make sure you check your psu and the cards power requirements first

Your stock power supply is 305W. The 4850 has a minimum requirement of 450W. Without upgrading your power supply you could probably get away with a 5670.

4850 is a bit much for that PSU most likely. You could get away with the 5670 fine, and even the 5750- but not more than that. The 5750 is probably your best bet there since its performance is about the same as the 4850, but its power consumption is much lower.
