Hello guys, I have a question.
First off it's great to be part of a new community hopefully I can get some insight!
So I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with an Nvidia 8600GM 256Meg GFX Card.
Now I want to upgrade my video card I know that when I bought the machine the maximum capacity video memory was 256mb.
So I got curious I took apart my machine and noticed that my GFX card can be taken out. So I'm asking myself, are laptop video cards specific to the chipset OR to the mark of laptop you have?
What I mean is, if the maximum video memory a GM965 can hold is say 512 MB can I change my video card to a 512 mb card? Or can I not change GPU because it is specific to a Dell Inspiron 1720?
If I can change it, where can I get this card?
