Notebook Video Cards

[Squaggleboggin]

Can you put any ordinary video card in a notebook? I've heard you can, but I certainly have my doubts. It seems as though not all the video cards would even fit properly. Perhaps someone can shed some light on the subject. Thanks.

Whoever told you that is nuts. It's not possible to put a regular video card in a laptop, nor is it really possible to upgrade the GFX card at all in a laptop.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much.

Laptop graphics are built onto the motherboard.

Laptop graphics are built onto the motherboard.

If that's the case, can you buy a laptop mobo w/ a gfx card and switch it out, upgrading both?

No, every mother board is custom made for case its in. Maybe if your lucky you can find one.
