Hi. I do not know much about laptop video but laptop video is intergrated into the motherboard inside a laptop and I think that there is no was to change it.

I have a Dell Inspiron 7500 with an 8mb ATI Rage Pro Mobility chip. The Video board on this machine can be replaced by a more powerfull one (more memory.) But it has to be a card specifically developed for portables (so no GeForces or Voodoos in a portable.). The main problem is not the integration, but the heat. Cooling is very difficult in a laptop, and those powerfull video card emit a lot of heat.

But I can tell you that I can play Counter-strike quite good @ 600*800.

Hello EQGamer,

as mosquito said, the chips in laptops are 'portable' versions of the standard PC ones. You can't exchange them.

NVidia understood that and therefore it has released the 'portable' version of the GeForce 2, it's called the "GeForce 2 GO".

So there will be laptops with "power-graphic" inside
