    Unfortunately, that is still out of my price range, not worth the risk.
    What Dell part number is your mobo? And what Intel chipset? And which GPU do you have? I've got:
    Dell part: 0H275K, Intel PM965 chipset, HD3650 GPU

    If someone has the exact same as me, but are using the Intel integrated graphics GPU then maybe an upgrade IS possible.

    never happening


    in today's world, upgrading your gpu on a laptop isn't happening unless you have mxm, which there are limited options and its costly (and not worth it IMO)
