    Where can you buy notebook video cards? Also, how difficult would it be to upgrade a Dell Inspiron E1505 with an ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 to a nVidia GeForce Go 7900 GS ( http://www.nvidia.com/page/go_7800gtx.html) ? Would it be worth the trouble? Can it even be done? Looking for some more information about this subject. Thanks to all who reply!

    Dell E1505
    Intel Core Duo T2400 @ 1.83GHz, 2GB Ram, 256 MB ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 Hypermemory, 80GB Hard Drive, Creative Sound Blaster 24bit USB, Windows XP Professional & Windows Vista RC1 (Dual Boot)

    Read the stickies. The E1505 is not a member of the 0.01% of notebooks that can upgraded.

    Also, a 15.4" notebook can only hold up to a X1600/7600/X1700/7700.
