Graphics Cards in Laptops?!


I'm really good with computers when it comes to software, but hardware really aint my thing. I recently got an old-ish laptop from eBay, and it has a 500MHz Pentium3 and an 8MB ATI rage Mobility. To cut a long story short, would I need to upgrade any kind of fan to install a 64MB ATI Radeon???

Graphics chipstes are not upgradable in laptops. There's only one big motherboard, and that contains everything, unlike the more modular PC system.

You're stuck with the intel chip that's usually in older Thinkpads! Sorry

Yeah. To my knowledge, the only things upgradeable in a laptop are the RAM, hard drive, maybe drives and wireless network cards.
