upgrading my video card in my laptop?

[styx3]

Is this possible?
I've done it with normal PC's a couple of times, but will it be possible to do it with this computer?

Probably not.  Most laptops are not upgradeable except for adding memory.  However, I understand some recently new models do have a replaceable video card. I presume this is only available on some of the higher priced models.  Can you visit the manufacturer's website and search for info on your model?  Perhaps you can contact their tech support.

soybean is correct based on the following from the intel spec sheet:

The Mobile Intel® GM965 Express Chipset is the whole piece of silicon, including PCI Express, memory, and CPU interfaces along with the graphics accelerator. The Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 is just that part of the GM965 which is used for graphics.

Of course your model could be an exception, so follow what he said refering to manufactors site...

Good Luck
