Need a decent video card for a notebook

[drg889]

Well, i need a new video card for my notebook, it cannot run many of my PC Games that i have that it should be able to...i got Orange Box today, but was surprised to know that all 5 of the games crash when i try to enter the game.

here's my laptop specs, yes it is all stock, i got it as a gift from my mom.

I can't find anything on this model that indicates that the graphics card can be upgraded. It's not that common that you can upgrade laptop video, so I would assume you're stuck with what ya got.

I was able to (barely) play Portal on my Macbook, which has Intel integrated stuff as well, albeit a newer chipset than yours. It wasn't a great experience though. IMO, give up on trying to play newer games on that machine.

Typically on laptops the graphics cards are integrated into the motherboard, so to upgrade it you'd need to replace the whole thing. Unfortunately this is impractical and you'd be better off just buying a new laptop.

Non-replaceable, I had that laptop and tried, rang up tech support too and they said there's no way of replacing it.

This is where I chime in and say FUCK YEAH ALIENWARE!
