    I am a newbie when it comes to laptops. I have an ASUS A2D with a 64mb Radeon Mobility 9600 Video Card. Was wondering if there is anyway to upgrade Video Cards in a laptop?

    This notebook should not have an upgradable video card. It's also very rare to find a unit with an upgradable video card. In most cases, you're stuck with the video card in your system, so buy the best you can afford.

    I have to agree, I beleive you can't upgrade the hardware, but there are some neat drivers at Omega drivers.
