    You cannot upgrade graphics cards in most notebooks (yours included). You have integrated graphics which means you are stuck with the GMA 950.

    Have a look at the sticky from the gaming boards here

    ease off, most people look at forums to make a quick post and get a quick answer, they don't spend time looking around for stickies (or even searching for that matter). They should, but they don't. Cut the guy a break.

    Calm down, everyone.

    No, you cannot ever upgrade. Buy a new computer if you need a better card.
