    This is my first laptop, and i cannot find any info on the subjet. It currently uses Intel Graphics Media Aelerator 950, which im pretty sure is not its own video card. I want to know if i can add a video card to this laptop or not. If so, will any mobile/laptop video ard work? Thanks!

    No you can't, there isn't anywhere you can 'plug' it into unlike a desktop

    Thanks for the replies. I downloaded the Battlefield and Fear Demos last night. Haent installed Fear yet, but Battlefield would not een start up, kept giving me an error. I wonder if it is because i do not have a dedicated video card?
