Does anyone know anything about adding a video card to a dell laptop?

i bot a dell laptop and their was a chep video card on it. Now i want to play games and it requires a better video card. I need to know if their is a way of installing one in it. dont matter the price.|||I was in Dell Technical Support for a year, so before you go ahead and buy any Video card, Just check whether the laptop is compatiblw with a video card.

To check go to www.support.dell.com and then put in the service tag or the express service code on the laptop in the section where it says to select a product once u put theat number in it will show u the model number for ur laptop and all the compatible hardware.

Then u can make an informed decision

Hope this helped|||Dell does not use video cards, per se, in their laptops; they use a video chipset installed on the laptop's motherboard. In order to upgrade, you'd need to find out from Dell whether you can order a motherboard with upgraded video for your laptop.|||You can only use what Dell supports. If money is not the issue, you can always buy a new laptop and sell you old one.|||it depends on what model laptop you have|||Call and ask DELL!!!!!|||If it doesnt matter about the price then buy a new laptop because chances are the laptop you have is not upgradable The grahics card is either on board or fused to the mother board. I haven't seen any you can ugrade but apparently there are some.



The may be an alternative- I have heard you can buy a USB graphics card but don't know anything about it.
