    How do I find out which graphics cards are compatible with the Dell 1557 laptop?

    I have looked here; but nothing obvious jumps out:

    http://support.euro.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/studio1557/en/SM/index.htm

    I am asking mainly because the supplied ATI 4570 is a media card, and not meant for games. I would like to upgrade to something like a ATI 4850. Nothing too high-end as i am aware of the heating/power requirements for such an upgrade.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    The HD4570 is the only card available.

    Thanks very much for the quick reply.

    This'll learn me to do EVEN more research next time I invest. Ah well.
