Who will fit a new graphics card in my laptop?

[Bouncing]

Hi there, Im thinking of upgrading my graphics card on my laptop, does anyone know who will fit it like pcworld maplins etc? and also is it possible to upgrade my ghz.

The only thing you can upgrade in a laptop is RAM.

You can only easily upgrade RAM and HDD. People have upgraded their graphics cards in Dells but its extremely complicated and involves modifing the BIOS.

Can rarerly upgrade the graphics cards in laptops.

"Is it possible to upgrade my ghz" Lol but no, not without upgrading your processor, which again isn't possible on a laptop. Well not for the average person anyway.

Some companies solder the processor to the motherboard, therefore making it impossible to swap out the chip.

Nar, if its the same socket and you know what your doing you can desolder it. Heh, im pretty handy with a soldering iron if I do say so my self.

Oh i see, that sucks doesnt it. Guess cant play any games till I get a new one which will be uni and wont even have time to play games then

Well i wouldnt even reccomend playing games on a laptop , unless its a 360 laptop , i tryed playing NFS: Carbon on my old one and i was driving on nothing, there is external graphics cards out there such as the asus XG Station which is hdmi, but seriously if you want to play games on a laptop i presume your going to be playing runescape not Crysis

And thats why you can get GAMING LAPTOPS, yeah.. they are for GAMES!

But unless your highly confident and skilled and most importantly prepared to possibly damage your laptop.. there isnt a way unless you find a shop/company that will do it but.. i would ask for proof it worked before letting them touch it tbh

You're saying that based on you assuming that all laptops are EXACTLY the same, and have the EXACT same processor, amount/type of RAM and same graphics card? I haven't seen any spectacular mobile graphics cards, but that doesn't mean you can't play Crysis well on a laptop:rolleyes:. My Aspire 9410 plays FSX very well thank you very much .

PCMCIA graphics cards are interesting, but I've only really needed them on older laptops, where the graphics card was outdated.
