ATI mobility Radeon 9600/9700 question
Hey guys I would like to upgrade my graphics card for my laptop, it's just video 64 MB, I think this is shared from the RAM, I got a1GB memory. How do I upgrade to 256MB video, do I have to upgrade my Ram to 2GB, or is there any video card or GPU processor which I can buy?
This is my graphics :ATI mobility Radeon 9600/9700 series.  I had upgrade before video cards for desktops but never for laptops. Thanks! |

You can't upgrade most laptop video cards. The video chip is soldered onto the motherboard. What exact laptop model is this?

That one *might* be removable, but anything stronger is going to cost you an arm and a leg and the notebook may have power and heat issues with anything stronger. You need a service manual for the laptop to see if it is in fact removable.
Your video ram is dedicated, it's not shared. |
