    Ok im basically a newb/noob when it comes to computer, so if you are answering my questions I hope you keep in mind that I am like a 10-year old when it gets to cars. Well I have a Sony Vaio PCG-7Y2L with its standard/default video card, which is a Mobile Intel (R) 945GM Express Chipset Family (Intel (R) GMA 950) [at least that's what I've been told]. I wanna play some video games, such as Fable: Lost Chapters, Falcon 4.0: Allied Forces, etc. Every time I take the System Lab Requirements test, my laptop exceeds all expectations expect when it gets to the video card. That's the only thing that stops me from playing some better games, so this is where I need help. What video cards can I get for my laptop (model)? Which ones do you suggest? And if its not too much to ask, approximately how much does it/they cost? Help is appreciated and I thank you all in advance.

    If you are reffering to upgrading it, you CANNOT upgrade it. Its intergrated into the motherboard. A new PC is something to think about. Start a new thread and fill out FAQ if you are interested
