    I have a Compaq CQ71 notebook with a PM45 chipset which I have been doing a few upgrades on. In the specs for the chipset it says that it has support for dual graphics. Does this mean I can add a new graphics card on to the chipset?

    I am hoping to improve the graphics performance next if possible!

    Thanks in advance :)

    No, just like P45 desktop motherboards with only one graphics card slot can only run one graphics card.
