    I noticed you guys know alot about laptop video card so I hope you might be able to help me. I bought a Clevo Pentium 4 2.8 GHZ laptop with 1 GB Ram and a 30 GB HD. The only problem is I think it comes with a SIS 650 video card which I read isn't very good. I really want my pc for gaming so I would like to know if theres a way to upgrade my video card or do you recommend reselling and getting a better one. My budget is 1,200 but I'd rather not sell this laptop unless it's necessary. I want to be able to play games with decent quality.

    BTW heres a link to the laptop I bought

    Do you think I can get by with this one for gaming or should I just move on?

    i would move on, it does not tell you what video card is inside..i would not try to guess at it, and it would be better to buy something that hasexactly what you want inside it.

    pb,out.

    I would recomend getting a different laptop as well. Check out some of the Asus laptops or maybe a dell if you need to go the cheap route.
