    I have hade my Aspire 5000 for just about a year now and i love it but the only thing is the grafix im a strait up gamer so like i want to play BF:2...ect

    but that is the only thing holding me back, so is there a grafix card i can buy or turn up the settings of it? so that i can have 128 cause i have gone in to the settings and messed around in there but it has done nothing at all.

    Other than overclocking,I seriously doubt if you can add a graphic card like you do with a desktop. Which card do you have with your notebook?

    Nope, not possible. Upgrading the graphics card is not possible as it in integrated on to the MB. The only chance you are ever going to have upgradable graphics is if the GPU is based on either the Nvidia MXM or ATi Axiom modular technologies. This is also only possible if the manufacturer provides an upgrade option for the particular laptop.
