Help on a Laptop Graphics Card

[titaniclover]

I have a freind who just bought a new laptop (specs below) and is into gaming with it. Brand new and runs great.

Processor: 2.0GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core T3200
Memory: 2GB at 667MHzHard drive160GB, 5,400rpm
Graphics: Intel GMA 3400MHD (integrated)
Operating System: Window Vista Home Premium

He is not satisfied with the graphics card and would like to update to a new card that can handel some intense graphic games. I knew the intergrated card would create a problem with that goal he had in mind.

Does anyone here have an ideas on some good, yet inexpensive, graphic cards for this situation?
Any thoughts from you computer wizards out there?

Thanks in advanced. :wave:

Cheers,
Adam

Unfortunately, only about 1% (if that) of laptop graphics cards are replaceable without some serious work. Like taking the actual GPU chip off the mobo and soldering a new one on.

Adam,

Try the web site of the computers' manufacturer, if you haven't already. But I agree with the Captain, with a laptop there's usually little or no hope of upgrading the graphics
