    Looks like you have the top GPU for that notebook already.

    I'm 100% sure GPU on Studio 1530 is INTEGRATED on the Motherboard and cannot be replaced!
    I guess for your notebook the situation is the same!Sorry

    No bigdarkmad, that's not true for my notebook.
    The GPU is fully detachable since i dismounted it many times for cleaning reasons.

    Up for some help, i read somewhere about a mobility radeon 9800 256mb...

    The older ones had swappable graphics. I know my Inspiron 5160 was like this.
