    Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card for a Dell Latitude D620 (it has a 256 MB NVIDIA® Quadro NVS 110M with TurboCache3). I was wondering if i could physically remove that graphics card, and put in a new one that would be better for gaming. Please let me know..obviously i don't know too much about computers.

    Since its a Dell, there may be alimited option for upgrading.

    Looking at the D620, you only have two options:


    256MB NVIDIA® Quadro NVS 110M TurboCache™


    Intel® Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 950


    So, unfortunaterly, the Quadro is the best you can get in it.

    No. This is the case with most every notebook that's not high-end.
