    Hi,

    I am kind of stuck in a difficult situation and would like to request reply from experts for the silly question below:

    Suppose I go with a laptop which offers integrated Intel GMA950 graphics. Sometime later and when I can afford, will I be able to replace the orginal card that came with the Laptop (i.e. Intel GMA950) with a qood quality graphics card or will I be stuck with the Intel GMA950 until i replace the laptop?

    Please read the stickies, and especially the GPU Guide. You cannot upgrade this card.
