    I'm looking to upgrade the graphics on my laptop and wondered if you could provide some suggestions where to buy a new card?

    The best I've found so far is a 8600M GT DDR2 but I'm concerned it won't give me that much of a performance upgrade.

    It's about £90inc delivery.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance!

    Not sure how Linux came into this...but okay.

    You cannot upgrade the graphics card, sorry.

    I am confident I can upgrade the graphics card to another MXMII card as long as I can find a supported BIOS.

    What did you mean about linux?
