    Hi guys/gals, I have an Acer Aspire 5002WLMi laptop and was wondering if i could have my graphic card upgraded. This laptop does have integrated (and shared) graphics but I have installed graphic cards on destops which had intregrated graphics before without any trouble. Im not sure if my laptop came with any extra PCI express slots or anything. Is there a way to check? lastly if i am able to upgrade my laptop which graphic cards would you recomend?

    Specs:
    AMD turion ML-30
    100GB HD
    1024 MB Ram

    It's rare that you can upgrade gfx card on any laptop. The only one that I know is the Dell E1705.
