That someone told the truth. But even if you can replace it, it will be very very very expensive. I had an IBM NoteBook a while ago, which would cost me about $600 to get me a new GPU. You almost buy a whole pc for the same money.

K man thanks for the information! I dont think I want to spend that much on this system because its not my main system...it would be better to get a new vedeo card for my main PC! lol

Well, try to get a price indication, it may not be so expensive for your lap. But first find out if it is replacable at all.

Yeh, good idea, I shoiuld contact the manufacturer...

Pointless, keep that laptop for word processing or internet. If you really want to look into laptops with a option to replace the onboard video, look into Alienware, right now I think they are the only company that has laptops with the option to upgrade your video card.
