try www.newegg.com for cards. for a good budget cards, get the one of the new upcoming 8600 cards that are up for future release. they range from 90-300 dollars
The guy who posted about newegg probably doesn't know you're talking about laptop graphic cards
The only laptop that I know of that has upgradeable graphic cards is one of the Alienware laptops And I believe that you can only use their laptop graphic cards to upgrade them
Anyone have any idea when 8000 series cards will be released for laptops? This one gets wiped at the end of middle school so I'm thinking of getting a good new card or putting my 6600 in.
you thought right. the external card cases came out in march in america. all you need is another bfx card. a normal pc one is fineJsung8070
I was going to get the XG Station until I decide to just build a rig instead. I haven't seen a single Asus XG in the US anywhere, I thought they weren't going to be available until next month?
I bought a Dell Inspiron about a year and a half ago. It came with a GeForce GO 6800 and I wanted to upgrade it. There are ways to do it, but for the most part, it's extremely difficult. You can find many laptop video cards on Ebay but installing it is rather tricky, especially with all the different chassis.
The XG is an option, but I'd really recommend checking with the system vendor. I can build desktops with no trouble but looking into upgrading my laptop's video card gave me a lot of hesitation and I didn't do it. I suppose time will tell with the external video cards.
That'll give you a rough idea (though the chart below is of 3DMark06 scores, which they don't have recorded for the 1150). Basically, it's the fastest of the integrated chips, but won't be running recent games at anything but low settings.
