    Hello all,

    I'm trying to swap my video card on my Acer 7520 laptop. Although, I don't know if I can swap it. It runs games fine now but I notice some hiccups every so often.

    How can I determine if my laptop's video card will come out?
    Where can I look to find a good video card? I've been looking on newegg and I can't seem to find any of the good ones on this list:

    Your card is not changeable. In fact you don't even have one.
