    I'm working on a laptop of someone I know, it's a Dell Inspiron 8200.The video card seems to be going, because I have lines running down the display. I get them when the computer is hooked up to an external monitor too.

    I've already taken it apart to check out the card, but because I didn't have a replacement I had to put it back together. I'm wondering where I could get a replacement card for it. It has the Nvidia GeForce 4 Go with 64 MB of VRAM. I saw a few of these on ebay for $60/$70 (which is a bit much for an ancient card, laptop or not). I'm also seeing a lot of these which have less memory. Do you think they're would be a major difference? Also, if anyone could suggest a parts shop I could get the card from for cheap that would be really helpful.
