    I've been reading lots of posts that you can't upgrade a graphic card of a laptop. Today I've seen laptops that have upgraded there cards. How can I upgrade the graphic card of an inspiron 9300, from 6800 nvidia to 7900 gtx? I need technical support as Dell in Kuwait are not willing to do it themselves.

    Thanks

    Sorry, but no, you can't do that. You CAN upgrade to the 7800GTX. You just need the 9 cell battery, the 120w power adapter, and a hacked BIOS which you can get at the site above, but so far, upgrading to the 7900GTX in a 9300 has been unsuccessful
