I am sorry to say that it is not possible to change the Video card which on the Motherboard of your laptop as it is integrated on it.

I don't think you can since most video cards are located on the mother board of the laptop/notebook. You would need to purchase a whole new notebook to do so...\n\nBut this is just a guess since I have never owned a notebook...

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.\n   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. \nThen u can make an informed decision\nHope this helped

step 1: find out what the minimum requirements are\n\nstep 2: find out what kind of graphics slot you have (agp 8x or pci-express)\n\nstep 3: find out how much you can or want to spend on your new video card\n\nstep 4: go to an online retailer and start reseaching prices on video cards that match the above steps.\n\nstep 5: buy the video card\n\nstep 6: remove old video card drivers and card (if you are changing companies) and insert new card\n\nstep 7: install/reinstall new video drivers\n\nstep 8: play game

Go to Majorgeeks.com and look for your upgrade program and download it for free. I can promise that you will find your answer there.

Is that... US dollars?  Anyway, what he said is correct, you can't change the graphics card on a laptop.  New ones will have either the Radeon X1400 or X1600 Mobility, Geforce 7400 or Geforce 7600 variants in them, on the mainstream end.  But you won't find any of them for less than $1000, more likely around $1300.  I don't know if you were only willing to spend $750 on a graphics card or $750 on a laptop with dedicated graphics, whatever the case, $750 for a graphics card is unheard of (unless you are planning to buy to Geforce 7900GTXs) and $750 for a laptop is too little to get a dedicated graphics card in it.  And as I said, you can't upgrade the graphics... in any laptop with the exceptions being from Dell and Alienware but only on the XPS line and a top of the line Alienware and you have to send it back to them for the upgrade.\n\nI agree, nVidia is the way to go but at $750 you aren't going to find one with a dedicated graphics card.  It's just not possible.  HP uses the Geforce 7400 Go in two of their laptop lines, however the lowest price I could get on that was $950 and it's not a very powerful machine.  To make it a machine worth owning you'll have to spend at least $1180 on it.  http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/compare_category.do;jsessionid=EzDMWYNTvmBgFd7wxkjFuFsDEFXtwJDWoOnsCNtWvRoGsThVNriv!1231286070?storeName=computer_store&category=notebooks/hp_pavilion&catLevel=1

No there's not a way around it I'm afraid, you'll have to buy more memory. The good news is it'll be cheap for you, probably less than your monthly broadband subscription as you probably have an older system. If you post your RAM specs on here or email me I can tell you what you need and how to install it into your system

You don't. The amount of video memory you have depends on how much is built into your video card, or your motherboards on board video. You can't increase it without getting a new video card, anymore than you can increase the amount of ram you have without buying and installing new ram.

no, definitely not. you stuck with your intel graphics 900 because it's integrated on the mainboard.\nonly top notch laptops have the opportunity to upgrade the graphics card (i.e. some Alienware and the Dell XPS M1710).

you can  upgrade your display memory by getting a graphics card with more ram(random access memory)

if there is an external monitor display vga card inside your laptop then you will be able to.\nbut if it is older than 9 years than definitly you wont have that card in your laptop.

Yes, you can add one to a regular old PCI slot. They won't be good for gaming.\n\nI upgraded one of my computers with an Nvidia GeForce FX5200 PCI with 128 MB RAM, and it runs everything I need it to. And it is a Compaq, by the way.

buy a new graphics card and install it.

I don't think upgrading that machine will be worth it, but you can try what the guy did on the link below.  But if I were you, I would buy a new machine.  You can get a new Dell for a couple hundred bucks that will blow your machine out of the water and will save you a lot of headache.
