    I just got a presario c302nr for Christmas and it works great. I have only one problem, I can't find out what video card and what graphics card it has. It would be the card originally installed because I haven't upgraded it yet, but I plan to do so in the near future. If there is anyone who knows the video/graphics card that the Compaq Presario c302nr comes with, please tell me, because I am literally clueless as to what programs I can run, and I don't want to run the risk of crashing my brand new laptop with a program that doesn't even work. Thank you.

    You can either download SiSoft Sandra or Lavalys Everest, it scans your comp and tells you all the details, or Google that model and look around. It looks like it has some sort of Intel onboard graphics.

    Based on Nicolas41390's info, kazijen, you cannot upgrade the graphic card. Sorry. :(
