You can't put a PCI-e graphic card, into a laptop.

i reckon it is.
i wouls suggest pulling the old one out and looking at it.
the card in the link you posted is for a notebook.

The mobility Radeon X600, is made for notebooks. The one you linked doesn't say mobility.

actually, it says "fulll profile" on the ebay link.
so no, b1gapl is right...the ebay card wont work, it's for a desktop.
sorry! i didnt look at that one i just looked at the dell link.

omg! thats the best. I can believe people dont know that desktop card can NEVER fit into laptop! XD

^lol.....Also I don't think you can change, an integrated graphic card, in laptops. Correct me, if I'm wrong.

I have two Dells and the cards are user-replaceable. I'm not sure if its upgradeable.
