Greetings
I have a HP Compaq nx9005 laptop from 2004 with Windows XP Pro and Radeon IGP 320M video card. Since it's an old PC and and an old card, I can't run some of the newer games. After doing some search on this site and others, I'm now under the impression that the video card in my computer is integrated, so I cannot change it (which I don't think I could do even if it was possible) but I was wondering if it can be replaced in a store. Do they have to replace the motherboard as well, in which case I assume I should rather buy a new computer? And now a bit silly question, but rather than have my current video card replaced, is it possible for me to have another one besides it installed? I assume there should be a slot for it then, how would I find out if my PC has an 'extra' slot?
IF I have any hope of getting a new/another video card, would you have any recommendations for what I should get (or what I should get for my next computer, perhaps...)? I *think* I have a PCI slot in this one. The card should be able to support the heavier graphics of new games, which includes support for Pixel Shader, but it doesn't have to be the latest mind-blowing bestseller. Preferably it shouldn't cost much more than 200 dollars, especially if I have to pay someone to have the thing installed as well.
Thank you for reading this
