Graphics Card Addition?

I bought a C500t Compaq Presario notebook and am wondering whether anyone has found a way to install a graphics card so that I can replace the built in Intel graphics card. I need answers, not theories. If you can supply a picture of your graphics card in the computer, please do.

You bought a Laptop and want to upgrade the graphics in it? It's impossible. It's built into the motherboard.



Go buy a better laptop, there's your answer. No theories here.

notebook graphic cards/chips aren't meant to be replaced by the end user. replacing one will void the warranty as you will have to literally take it apart. moreover, add-on graphic cards are for desktops only and will really not fit inside the notebook.

in your bios you can change the amount of video memory it uses, set it to the max then go buy the maximum amount it can handle. because doing so reduces the amount of system memory available.



EDIT: only a few alienware laptops(to the best of my knowledge) had interchangeable video cards.
