What is the best graphics card for a good price out there right now?

I have a pretty standard Dell B130 laptop with Intel Centrino mobile techonology. My graphics card is really standard also (not exactly sure which on it is but it's not a powerhouse card). I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade my graphics card to a much better one even on a pretty standard laptop like mine...will recent games look good with a high end graphics card that's running on an Intel Centrino processor? Does the graphics card make the difference or the processor? If the graphics card is really important, which one should I upgrade to that's also relatively inexpensive? Thanks guys.

in 9 out of 10 laptops it is NOT possible to upgrade the video processor. there are the rare ones that are able to but you have to use a specialized video card from your system manufactor.

While I agree that the graphics card is not very powerful in most new laptops, manufacturers don't give much choice in upgrades. Many new laptops come with integrated graphics, and also the graphics card is more than likely not upgradable, as making it upgradeable would introduce a lot more cost and design into the mix. If you were going to game and were in the process of finding a laptop with decent graphics, The NVidia Ge-force Go chips and the ATI Radeon Mobility are decent, but if your laptop didn't come with them, there is not very many, if any choices in upgrading the video card. The only real thing that is feasible in laptops is upgrading the CD-RW to a DVD-RW or upgrading the RAM or Hard Drive, otherwise there is not much you can do.

P.S. When I said that upgrading the laptop video card is not really possible, i meant that a lot of manufaturers don't give that option, though some of the older laptops had the option, that wouldn't be a very good choice either, because then the laptop would have a problem running the games because of the processor instead of because of the video card, and that wouldn't work well either....
