Vista - Best Graphics Card for my laptop?

Alright guys, this looks like one of the best places to post this question and couldnt find much using the search.

I was wondering what you would recomend as the best graphics card within £50 - £120

My system specs:

Vista Home Premium x64 Service Pack 1
Acer Aspire 5735
Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo CPU @ 2GHz
4GB RAM

CURRENT GRAPHICS:

Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
1.28GB Adapter RAM


Hope that gives you enough to go on. I have no idea about graphics cards but Ive just got into PC games and want to be able to play them all quite well.

Thank you in advance
Jacob

Hi Jacob and welcome to Vista Forums

Sorry, but you cannot upgrade the graphics capability of a laptop as the GPU is part of the motherboard.

What you could do is to upgrade the memory of your laptop so that you have the maximum amount installed that is supported.

what he is saying is that you can't upgrade a laptop gpu what you have is what your stuck with all you could do is add more ram to the laptop as a whole

Hi Jacob,

Having looked at the specifications as regards memory support, I see that you have already installed 4GB which is the maximum supported by this model.

Generally speaking, laptops are more designed for business use. They don't tend to be suitable for playing games on, especially demanding ones.

Sorry.

Buy a desktop for gaming

Thanks for the quick replies guys.

looks like Im stuck then

I only just bought this laptop for college and dont have nearly enough money to buy a pc as well

I probably should have researched this a bit more but I thought that becasue you can buy laptops graphics cards then it should be alright

Thanks again

You can you buy a laptop graphics card? I dont believe you can, thats why you cant upgrade them.

Get a PS3 for gaming if u cant afford a decent desktop

Well my local shop sells some but they are for custom building a laptop.

Any nVidia card with an (m) after it is a card for a laptop.

Since you cant upgrade your laptop. You may want to tweak it by killing processes you wont need. You may also have to set the game to the lowest settings. I bought a laptop as a portable desktop. Course I cant help trying to run some games on it lol.
