    As of now I have a Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Chipset Controller. I just bought a Gamebridge 1410, with the help of LFC, much thanks, and I am wondering whether or not I should upgrade my video card and if so to what? I am looking to run a Wii on it for Super Smash Brawl. Any suggestions?????????? Thx in advance

    Almost all notebooks can't be upgraded, but there are exceptions and yours is not one of them.

    Well, have you tried using it since I assume you have the Gamebridge?

    I think the GameBridge is processor intensive, not graphics. So if you have a good CPU (Pentium M or better) you should do fine.
