[tottenham123]

ive just purchased a dell inspiron 6000 with the ati x300 64mb graphics card and i want to know if i can upgrade it to a better card.

if this is possible do you guys know where i can buy these cards from as i have had a quick search around the net and not found anything yet.

cheers

i highly doubt you can upgrade a laptop video card seeing that there mainly built into the laptop (unlike a desktop).

you maybe able to contact dell for an upgraded model of that pci-e video card and possibly the geforce 6800 go series.

here are helpful steps to removing the video card.

the video card is not soldered in and uses a pci-express interface.

Indeeeed, but it's still difficult to replace your own gfx card in a laptop (for the ones that can be replaced/removed).

its fairly easy to remove. it might be difficult to get ahold of a part but its definately not hard to install.
