I wasn't sure what kind of information you'd need! I just want a graphics card good enough to run WoW, I don't play any other games, and reqs for it arn;t that high. Still I'm not sure if a ATI or Nvidia is what I need?

thats your graphics card, you cant change it

Yea, you can't change the graphics chip, in a laptop. It's embedded like peter said.

 

[saltynay]

yeah you can't change the graphics chip unless you change the motherboard which is advanced tech level for a home builder just because everything in a laptop is confined to the smallest amount of space possible

 

[peterhuang913]

ive heard the big companies are now making upgradable lappys...

 

[b1gapl]

That would be convient, for those who, don't want to buy a whole new laptop.

 

[saltynay]

laptops have always been upgradeable and asus have done barebone kits for ages but the components are expensive and you need to work out exact dimensions and place items in a certain order to fit its not worth the effort for the savings a desktop takes an hour to build at home for a newbie whilst a laptop may take a couple of days of just fiddling so that everything fits

FFS, I guess I'm screwed then.

 

[saltynay]

you could try a flick book
