since your vid card is welded into the laptop it will cost a lot of money to change it out.

Unfoutuantly... the Video Card is Attached to the Motherboard... and altho It IS Possable to .. swich it... You would Have to find one on the black market... and void your warrenty to do it... and Know what your doing....



BUT..... I have found a soft mod.... that... at least for me... made it possable for my card ( ATI MOBLILITY 7500) to see decals..... but resalts may very.... and you need an ATI card.... and to my knowledge ... there is no...as of yet.... exsternal Video card.... But If ya need a new sound card for your laptop..... you can get an exsternal one from creative that goes into a PCI slot.... so...


I hope this helps.... and if ya do have a ATI card.... say what kind it is... and Ill give ya the link to the mod...

just get a dell xps gaming system or any hp system (my opinion hp works the best because you can coustomize it to your fullest where as dell there is a limit)
