can you change the graphics card on a lap-top ?

no, normally not, because it's integrated on the mainboard. Only high end laptops have a dedicated graphics card that is changable.

you can not upgrade the graphic in the notebook but try updating the device driver from HP.com\n\nhttp://h10061.www1.hp.com/ccsearch/

Try windows update\nhttp://www.windowsupdate.com/\n\ndo not go for express installs, but use it manually, there you should find drivers for video cards.\n\n\nIf that fails, try the vendor of your graphics card. They might have it (you didn't give details on which vendor it is, only the chipset)).\n\nBTW: The type of CPU is irrelevant.

You can't upgrade the graphics in this particular laptop. Very few notebooks have upgradable graphics cards.

Graphics cards are usually built into the motherboard itself, so this means you can't replace the graphics card.  Some laptops do have a slot at the bottom for internal wireless cards.  You can also purchase a PC card for the PCMCIA slot.

If you've got a laptop, then generally, no. You're stuck with what you bought.\n\nIf it's a desktop, then get a new monitor.

No.  You can't upgrade it.  Even if you had a dedicated solution (you don't) but if you did you wouldn't be able to upgrade it.  The GMA that you have is a chip integrated on the motherboard.  A dedicated solution would be more of a small card that is also integrated to the AGP or PCIe interface on the motherboard so in either case an upgrade would not be possible.\n\nThere are a few laptops that you can upgrade the graphics card in, like Alienware but you can't upgrade it yourself with a stock card, you have to send it back to Alienware for the upgrade.\n\nBut in your case, as I have said, an upgrade is not possible and I'm sorry to say that an Intel GMA is one of the worst graphics solutions on the market, even for an IGP, it's terrible.

First you have to know what kind of card to get. If new computer is proably PCI-E, MOST computers have AGP interface. Some computers like Dell or Emachines don't have a graphics upgrade option and you have to use PCI.\nOpen the case and remove old card (if it had one) Plug in new card in the slot and hook up monitor. Reboot computer. If old graphics was integrated it must be disabled in the bios. \nInstall driver for new card and remove driver for old card.

Right-click on a blank part of the desktop. A menu will pop up. Select PROPERTIES. Click the tab marked SETTINGS. Click the button marked ADVANCED. Click the tab marked ADAPTOR. \n\nThat will show you the graphics card you have.

Go to Control Panel > Display > Settings Tab > Advanced button.  That will at least tell you what video card you have.  If it is using the generic driver from Windows, it won't have much for adjustments.  You may be able to find a better driver from the manufacturer's web site that will allow some adjustments.

Depending on where and how you will be using the laptop, it will determine which graphics card to get. I'm assuming that this is a desktop replacement, so you probably don't need something that conserves energy.\n\nThis article should get you started:\nhttp://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=2526

In most cases it is not possible to add a video card to a laptop.  They have a closed architecture.  Graphics cards are designed for the open architecture of the desktop.  \n\nLaptops have graphics chips that are sometimes soldered onto the system board and sometimes they have a dedicated chip.  When soldered it can't be change, but sometimes the dedicated chips can be upgraded.  You have to check with the manufacture to find out the situation with your laptop.

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.

Laptop graphics chipsets are typically integrated onto the laptop motherboard.  To upgrade the graphics, you 'd need to upgrade to a better laptop.  If gaming, or other graphics apps, are a serious consideration, invest in the graphics chipset you want now.
