    Hi
    I have a acer aspire 5720 laptop with a broken mother board, i have a chance to buy a motherboard which as come out of a acer aspire 5520g laptop will this laptop run alright in my laptop.

    The 5520g motherboard has a video card which plugs into the motherboard but the card is broken and they are expensive will this motherboard have an integrated video chip as well as the video card slot.

    I hope i am making sense to you all Thanks Steve

    The 5520g has an AMD processor and no integrated graphics, not sure if it fits in the 5720 base. A better choice would be a 5315/5715 board, either will fit in the 5720 case and they also have the same chipset )960/965.
