    Has anyone tried to put one of the new directx10 cards in an older laptop,like the E1705?

    or can anyone look at the card and prove that its not possible?

    I would just like a definite answer to weather my laptop could get a directx10 card or not (which is the E1705).

    No, you can't upgrade your GPU to dx10 cards.

    Assuming you have 7900GS or ATI crap, you can upgrade to 7900GTX/7950GTX at best. (both dx9 btw)
