Laptop Question

I recently bought the this laptop,

bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9084475&type=product&id=1218017927561

and I wanted to know if the video card is any good, although I think it is integrated, and if it is possible to upgrade the card or add a new one?

Please help.

Sorry abut the link, can post them yet, just made account

 

Please help Someone!!

 

The laptop you purchased has integrated graphics. You cannot upgrade the graphics in that machine. The intel chipset you have is an ok graphics solution if you plan on watching movies or other any other small task. Your not going to be doing any gaming though, unless they are really old games.

 

If its integrated its either an Intel X3100 or more likely the Intel X4500.

Now the X4500 is very powerful, although a dedicated card still beats it.

A lot of the "simpler games" or 1-2 year old games should run fine.

However: the graphics card isn't the only important aspect. On an XP laptop with I think an old 915 chipset Empire Earth 2 ran better than on my Sony's NVidia 8400GS - but my Sony runs Vista.
Between my X3100 and the 8400GS - the NVidia performed better with Age of Empires 3 than the Intel one did.

But basically its - old games, or low performance new games at low settings.

Maybe you can post your titles and people will be able to tell you whether it'll run or not.

 

That is correct.
