Thread: Can i upgarde my laptop graphic card

I bought a Dell Inspiron 1750 laptop. I can play almost all games at low resolutions. But I need better performance for gaming. Can I upgrade my laptop graphics card? I searched the Dell website but found nothing specific. Can you help me with this issue? Also, presently my CPU is an Intel Dual Core processor. Can I upgrade it to a Core 2 Duo or higher? Please reply.

In most cases you cannot upgrade the laptop's graphics card: Sometimes the processor can be upgraded, but you cannot buy a laptop processor off the shelf and upgrade it yourself. You would need to contact the Dell service center in your area (or online) and find out if the processor upgrade is possible and what it will cost to have them do it.

i think its difficult

No. Your laptop, as well as 95% of laptops on the market, use an integrated motherboard graphics card system, meaning that replacing your graphics card would mean buying and configuring a new motherboard, which would make the entire computer not fit back in the casing it came in.

With laptops, you're really stuck with the graphics card it came with.

There is a little bit of hope, however. Some manufacturers have come out with PC Card and USB adapters to add additional monitors. These devices generally aren't developed enough for intensive uses, but they may prove to be the only upgrade you can do.
