    Hello,

    I have an Acer Aspire 5100, and I am familiar with desktop video cards and stuff, but I have read that laptops are much harder, and that Acer was the least likely to be able to change. Right now i have a Radeon Xpress 1100 and i would like to switch it to a Nvdia 8 series. Has anyone attempted it? Any help would be appreciated.
