    In all honesty I have no idea if it can be upgraded. Any help is appreciated thanks. This Thinkpad was a gift from a friend of mine, so I just need to know if I can upgrade the card to something a little more substantial.
    I have the 32mb ATI Mobility radeon 7500 installed right now.

    i dont think it could since its mostly likely soldered onto the motherboard
    i think the only way it could be upgradable is if it was mxm capable

    you could start by reading the stickies on top of the page, that would also incidentally answer all your questions...what a strange coincidence!!

    " Sticky: ****READ BEFORE POSTING**** Gaming General Info Sticky*****PLEASE READ*****" - HINT: read it

    "Upgrading Video Cards
    YOU CAN'T UPGRADE YOUR GRAPHICS CARD!
    "

    ps.: maybe we should make the font bigger like

    Read the stickies before you post as noted.
