    My current graphics card in my laptops shot, but the 3 year old doorstop is still kicking and I want to use it a little longer for minimal gaming. Only problem is finding a ATI Mobility Radeon Xpress 200 series or 200M GPU to replace the one thats dieing. I'm unable to find anything but driver downloads for it and the only thing I can possibly think of is replacing the entire motherboard as I cant find anything but this.
    If you know of anywhere I can find a replacement or upgrade help me out because I'm unable to find any other info regarding this.

    Moble GPU's are usually not replacable. If you want to replace the GPU, you need to replace the motherboard.

    Check out the stickies in the "Gaming/GPU" sub-forum.
