Wanting to upgrade

rans0m00 · 01-15-2008

I have a Dell 1721 laptop with an ATI Radeon X1270 vid card... Dont think its actually a card have not opened the computer but i am assuming its built onto the motherboard... My only question is there a way to install a better vid card....vid gpu... or something along those lines?

Any help would be appreciated,
Jon

I dont think you can install an add-on GFX card on a Laptop.
You *could* give it to Dell and they *may* replace it for a Laptop with a better card.

Figured that much.... Oh well its time for a new laptop anyways so will just be a little more picky about the video on it...

Thanks,
Jon
