I want to get a new graphics card for my laptop, but these cards are much different than PC ones. Can someone tell me of a good graphics card that i can get for my laptop?

Is your laptop upgradeable? Mine isnt, but Ive heard of certain kinds which can be upgraded.

Some can. But those cost a fortune to begin with. Most laptops, however, cant be.

Trust me. I have a laptop myself and did extensive reasearch on which one to buy beforehand.

I think Gateway makes an upgradeable laptop. There are others, but I cant remember them now.

Laptops usally cant be upgraded with better graphics cards because a better card is usally bigger and theres not much spare space in a laptop plus graphics cards need the fan to be in the right place. I've got a 9700mobility 128mb in my laptop and it gets pretty hot playing half-life 2 i cant imagine it without the graphics card having its own fan outlet. I just did my research beforehand for my laptop its just easier putting a better card in you main pc.

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron XPS that came with a 128MB Radeon 9700 and is upgradeable...I think it just depends on the laptop
