    Sorry, you most likely cannot upgrade your Laptop Graphics Card.

    What Inspiron do you have?

    Even if you can upgrade, it will be a slight upgrade.

    If you have the e1505/6400, you're out of luck since Dell never made a more powerful GPU. If you have an e1705, it's possible you can upgrade to a 7900 GS/GTX.

    Please read the stickies. You cannot upgrade your video card (except in rare occasions).
