    Hi all,

    I am new to noteboks. This might be a dumb question. Is there any graphic card in the market which can fit in a pci express 54 slot inside a notebook or is there any gpu which can work on a notebook. My note book runs on Nvidia Geforce 6150 IGP can i upgrade to an another one. Any comments. :confused:

    Unfortunately you have a nvidia go 6150 IGP and like my notebook it is an integrated GPU and it under no circumstances can be upgraded to anything else Sorry...

    Please read the sticky about updating graphics cards in notebooks here to answer all your questions

    There are graphic cards for the PCMCIA slot. There might be some for express slot and if there are not i expect them to be made soon. Here is an example of one.

    But they are not for gaming! They would be even slower then your internal card. They are great if you need a DVI port and dont have one in your laptop or if you want to connect a 2nd external display.

    Usually, its not possible to replace/upgrade graphics card. The GPUs that you link to, cannot be used for your notebook.

    As it has been stated before, you cannot under any circumstances just take one of those gpus and put it in your notebook. It's just how it is.

    If you want any of those gpus in your laptop, then you have to purchase another machine that comes with those, otherwise you're stuck with what you have.

    I know you want to upgrade your gpu, but asking over and over again will not change anything.
