But in my specs it says that i have one free PCI-E slot. I have no idea how to access it nor do i have any intention. (I'm very un-tech savy ) Anyway, is there anyway i could have someone that knows there way around a computer open it up and see if its possible to add another graphics card? Or would i be better off just getting a High-Def monitor (this is an option)?
See above - if you have a laptop, then it is almost guaranteed that you cannot upgrade the graphics. It is 100% guaranteed in the case of laptops with Intel integrated graphics, which you have.
I have no idea why a laptop would advertise a PCI-e slot - Perhaps it has a Mini-PCIe slot that a mobile broadband card can be installed into? Or do you mean the ExpressCard expansion slot?
If you don't have a laptop and instead have a desktop, you probably should have posted a new thread rather than to a laptop thread to avoid confusion.

Hi,please suggest me some games for Compaq CQ62-105TU Laptop.Can I upgrade my laptop's graphics card

Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade the processor or graphics card on this laptop.
Here is a page from CPU-World that gives the specs for your processor:
http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bobcat/AMD-E%20Series%20E2-1800.html
You will see down near the bottom of the page that it is not upgradeable. Some laptops come with the processor soldered to the motherboard. Almost all laptop graphics are this way. The only way that you would be able to get a faster processor/better graphics for this laptop would be to purchase a brand new motherboard. You can do an Ebay search for 'HP G6 motherboard' to see what average prices are if you want to go this route.

Upgrade RAM or Separate Video Card

I'm looking to buy a 21.5" iMac. I do some photo editing with photoshop elements and iphoto. I also use iMovie but don't do intense graphics or video work.
So I have two considerations:
1. Should I purchase the iMac with a separate NVIDIA graphics card?
2. Should I upgrade to 16GB of RAM
Doing both would be a bit too expensive so I need to know if the base model will likely be fine for me or if I should consider upgrading the ram or video card.
Thoughts?

Can I ask what you determine the difference to be between professional use and home movie use? I once made a home movie that was over an hour long.
Basically I would like to purchase a new 15" MacBook Pro and am wondering if I should get the more expensive one with the Nvidia Graphics Card or without. I like to do a lot of video editing on iMovie and have thousands and thousands of photos on iPhoto that I like to edit.
Do I need the Nvidia graphics card or should I get the standard 15" model and up the memory/processor/hard drive?
Thank you!

Can I upgrade my laptop with additional RAM and a SSD Drive.

Hello, Well I am on the following system :- HP Pavilion 14-v015tu Notebook PCModel #: J3Z65PA It has a 4GB RAM and I want to upgarde it with additional 4GB of memory putting it to 8GB of RAM. Also I am on Windows 10 currently the OS is quite slow on my HDD and I have been thinking to switch to SSD.I need help that can i upgrade my laptop with a 512GB SSD and if yes what size and stuff as I cant find information about the form factor,inches,size,etc of my current HDD.Also will it fit properly and stuff? Also my main concern is warranty.Does my warranty gets void if I upgrade ? Thanks

The backup is an issue, but you can always mail your work to your self… but the mail server has to be configured the way that mails are not deleted.
The more elegant way is "MobileMe", you can use it as a storage and save your work there.
Keep in mind, the iPad is limited to what you can do with the Apps, so check first if there are some Apps for the work you need to do…
enjoy your magic machine

Can anyone tell me if the video card is soldered on the the iMac late 2009

My screen goes completely black I have done every test imaginable, with other info on the forums my video card seems to be faulty. I am apparently not the only one with this issue. So as a last resort I am possibly going to do a repair. Can anyone tell me if this video card is soldered on the motherboard or does it plug in.
It is a late 2009 27" iMac with the EMC# 2309
Thanks Greatly Appreciated!

This was already asked and answered.

Is it possible to upgrade a Powerbook's video card?

I presently have a 1.33GHz Powerbook G4 with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 / 64MB VRAM. Is there any way to upgrade my video card? I just bought Aperture, and after two days of testing, the performance would allow one to play with Aperture, but its just too slow and chunky to use for productivity.
However, in discussions with someone that has another Powerbook config, it appears that his ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 / 128MB VRAM is working out just fine with Aperture and runs smoothly.
Is there any possible way to upgrade my Powerbook's video card? About 6 months ago I called AppleCare support and asked about this for a different reason and they told me I had to buy a new Powerbook if I wanted to new video card. Are there other options available now?
Thanks,
Brad

Ok, then is it possible to upgrade the MLB to a board with a faster graphics chip?

Can laptops get video cards upgraded?

Alot of my friends are telling me laptops have un-upgradable video cards. Is this true?

General rule of thumb:
If it has Intel GMA integrated graphics, it is definitively not upgradable.
If it has NVidia or ATI discrete graphics, it may be upgradable, but this is getting rarer and rarer. Even if it is, it is almost always not economically feasible.
As an example, the Dell Inspiron 8000 series (8000, 8100, and 8200) all had interchangeable video cards. It was actually economically viable to take the GeForce 4 MX designed for an I8200 and put it into the original GeForce 2-based I8000. However, the I8200 was last made back in 2002 or so. Newer Dells don't have the interchangeability that older ones had.

Can I upgrade my laptop Graphic Card

I have a HP DV6 B1N18EA, its has the nividia geforce 630m 2 gb detecated, I need a better graphic card to upgrade it. So can anyone please tell me if i can

Hi,
Basically you can, with a cost and I believe this cost may be more expensive than buying a new computer because you have to take into account:
New card price, and WHERE you can buy it because laptop cards are not the same as desktop cards. You can't buy from any normal shop,
Need new system board (may be),
Need new cooling system because generally speaking more powerfull card pumps out more heat (you want more powerfull card don't you?).
May need new PSU because your current PSU may not suitbale to the card. (I ordered a machine with Nvidia card and I needed to order a 90W charger at the same time, not the normal 65W charger. They simply rejected my order).
Labor cost.
Many, many packets of Asprin.
Hope this helps.

Can I upgrade my processor and graphics card in my HP Pavilion g6-2244sa Notebook PC?

Hi I bought this laptop 2 years ago for gaming purposes and school work. I was told by the shop assistant that it can run most fo your big games such as Call Of Duty and FIFA. Well frankly i was lied to and this laptop struggles to even play the simplest game Minecraft a game about pixelated blocks that you destroy and place and this can't even run it I am very annoyed about this and seeing if i can upgrade the machine never crossed my mind until now. So i am asking to see if it would be possible to upgrade the Hardware of this machine mainly the processor and graphics card, here are the specs of my laptop:
Processor- AMD E2-1800 APU w/ Radeon HD graphics (2CPUs) (1.80)GHz
Graphics Card - AMD Radeon HD 7340G
RAM - 8Gb
Memory - 1Tb
Now I am wondering if this machine's processor and graphic's card can be upgraded and if so what would be the price of it and where would be the best place and if the cost is too much would i be better off buying a new machine?
If you need more specs reply with the ones you need and i'll get them for you thank you for the help!

Put this way if that system isn't costing you 2,000US or more then it will not play Call Of Duty and FIFA regardless of what the store sales person says. To play those games your laptop has to fall into the catgory called "Gaming Laptop" Specs and those come with cost and weight to show for it. Your laptop is only good at low games resolution and will not handle graphics intensive games. Those requires Gaming Laptop specs those cost money to be had. So if you still want to Game COD style you need to put down the cash for serious Game Laptop to perform under pressure. Forget about upgrading your current system what you want is a Serious Gaming Laptop if your going to play COD.

Updated Driver gor radion for laptop 3650hd video card?

is there any way to get a update to the 3650 hd laptop card i have been told that there is alot of fixes for the game i play with the newer video drivers?
the only one on toshidba site is from way last year
drive date is 4/7/08
ver is 8.477.0.0

Generally, the video drivers for laptops are customized by the manufacturer to accomodate their specific implementation of the graphics controller chipset. Therefore, the drivers from the chipset manufacturer frequently refuse to install. There are websites around the net that have 'hacked' drivers the will sometimes work. You can explore Google to see if you can find something. Few notebook manufacturers attempt to keep up with game designers and so seldom release updated video drivers unless a bug fix is involved. This is one of the reasons that, with very few exceptions, notebooks make less than idea gaming platforms.
