Laptops currently cannot be upgrade graphics card wise, I know that for a fact. I don't think they can be upgraded anything except for like adding RAM or replacing the HDD. I could be wrong though, im not as all-knowing with laptops. I don't think laptops have a standard motherboard configuration, so that would have to be worked out by tons of companies over the next few years if they were to try to make parts such as the graphics in a laptop removable.

Can some one tell me how well my 2 vista pc's will run halo 2 vista. They already have all the requirements but I’m not sure about the graphics cards please tell me how well both pc's will run the game. My first pc has a XFX GeForce 7600 GT XXX Edition / 256MB GDDR3 will it run on at least medium setting's please describe it to me in detail. My second pc has a XFX GeForce 8600 GT XXX / 256MB DDR3 also please tell me how well it will run halo to vista. Thanks a lot I really need to know this ASAP. Thanks.
I have the 8600 GT right now. It is an amazing card, I would go with the 8600 GT, unless the other computer has all better specs...in which case I would switch graphics cards :p
My current specs are...
Pentium 4 2.8ghz
2 Gigs ddr2 533mhz
e-Geforce 8600 GT
250GB Sata HDD
DVD +/- re-writable drive.
With those specs I can run Halo 2 Vista with almost high everything, I run it on 1024X768 resolution.
Now it's time for you guys to help me!!!!
Im trying to build a gaming computer. I want to get it done by the end of July. I already have a DVD drive, 200GB HDD, e-Geforce 8600 GT. These are the items I need and their current prices...
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ 2.5Ghz - $130 on newegg.com
GIGABYTE Sli-ready Motherboard - $80 on newegg.com
10 - Bay Matrix ATX Window Case - $32.50 on geeks.com
I don't know what type of powersupply I will need for running the above as well as...
200GB Sata HDD
DVD Drive
2x EVGA e-Geforce 8600 GT
If any of you find the above cheaper please let me know!! Also, someone let me know about the power supply issue. Im sure there are some people on this forums doing SLi, let me know what your configuration is power supply-wise and case-wise.
Someone let me know about ram too. The motherboard I listed I want to stick with; it uses DDR2 800 ram.
Of course I will be looking into all of this as well, but your input will definitely help!
Thanks Guys!
