    You should look in the graphics forum. You will almost certainly NOT be able to upgrade your graphics card. Notebooks don't work that way.

    Yes please look at the stickies in the gaming and graphics section of the forum. The only laptops that can be upgraded in this way are barebones and Dells and that's only a small amount of the time anyway.
