Graphic card upgrade on Satellite A60

My Queston is if there is any possibitity to change my Radeon Mobility 7000 igp of my Satellite A60 for a better card or do i have to by a complete new Mainboard?

Hello
This theme was discussed a lot of time in the forum and there is a simply and short answer: No, its not possible to upgrade the graphic card.
The card is a little chip which is fixed on the mainboard.
About the motherboard changing: Well, its not very easy because of a exact fitting and compatibility.
Bye

  • Graphics card upgrade on my A60?

    Hi,
    I've had an A60 with on-board ATI Raedon 7000 shared memory graphics for over a year and have had ongoing problems with crashing. I seem to have (at least temporarally) resolved this issue by reducing the colours to 16m...
    I am now using some more graphics intensive programs (games) and wonder if anybody can suggest a way of making things like "Age of Empires III" work faster than 1 frame per second (short of buying a desktop)?
    I wouldn't mind upgrading the graphics chip to a card if this is possible but any suggestions would be appreciated!
    Many thanks,
    Paul.

    Hi
    Daniel is right. Its not possible to upgrade the notebook graphic cards.
    The notebook technology is very tricky and you cant compare it wit the desktop PC.
    By the way: The Age of Empires 3 is newer game and to play it you need a high performance pc and graphic card with good cooling system

  • Is graphic card upgrade on Satellite L300-21W possible?

    Hi!
    I`m thinking to buy Toshiba Satellite L300-21W but i wat to play some games on it like Cod2 but I think that her serial graphic card is weak so my question is:
    " CAN I REPLACE GRAPHIC CARD WITH BETTER ONE OR NOT( and with which one if you know)!?!?!??!"
    Thank you!

    As far as I know graphic card on mobile computers cannot be upgraded. This is also described in follow document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
    So if you want to play different games with your notebook pick up info about models with better graphic cards.
    I can recommend you to check Satellite A300/A350 notebook models.
    Talk with your local dealer.

  • Looking for Macbook Graphics Card Upgrade

    Hey,
    I recently saw a Graphics Card Upgrade Kit for a Macbook Pro and was wondering if Apple offers a Graphics Card Upgrade Kit for a Macbook.
    Thanks,

    Welcome to the discsussions!
    The graphics chipset is integrated into the logic board and cannot be replaced or upgraded.
    Are you sure you saw one for the MacBook Pro and not the Mac Pro desktop tower?

  • Slimline s5-1010 - HDMI graphics card upgrade, what graphics cards will work in slimline box?

    Slimline s5-1010 - HDMI graphics card upgrade, what graphics cards will work in slimline box?  Cheap will do, under 100.  Has 1 PCI Express x16, but the slot on back of pc looks about 2" too short for this?

    Hi-
    I think you will find there are more users of the ATI Radeon 9800 that DON'T have a 300w PSU, than those that do. It would leave out the majority of the G4 line if it were absolutely necessary. As I see it, it isn't absolutely necessary, and, it is also the ONLY higher end upgrade graphics card commercially produced for 2x, 4x AGP systems, most of which, DON'T have a 300w PSU.
    My Sawtooth has a 237w PSU, and the 9800, and my processor upgrade, and 2 internal drives, all work just fine!
    As for the piggyback connection, that is how you connect the power to the 9800. A splitter molex cable is used to split power from the superdrive connection, between the superdrive and the 9800.

  • Graphics card upgrade question on the Satellite P10-802

    Hoping someone out there may be able to offer some advice.
    I'm now finding I probably need to upgrade this system a little. Adding memory looks straight forward but was also interested in upgrading the graphics card. Does anyone know if this is possible? Currently it has the ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9700 with 64MB of memory. If it is not possible to change the card is it possible instead to increase the memory on the card itself?
    Thanks in advance if anyone has any advice to offer!
    Cheers

    No, something like that is definitely not possible.
    Please do not mix the notebook technology with the simple desktop PC.
    You cannot upgrade the notebook graphic card and you cannot increase this graphic card memory.
    Nothing to do :(

  • Satellite Pro 6100 Graphics Card Upgrade/Replacement

    I have a Satellite Pro 6100 p4-m 2.0 30gb and the graphics card has died. I love this laptop.
    It had an NVidia GeForce4 420 Go 16mb
    Can I replace it with a GeForce4 420 Go 32mb from the same models.
    Is there something more powerful available that works with no problems for the 6100? ie. GeForce4 440 Go 64mb?
    Cheers

    Usually toshiba didnt offered a separate graphics card update but there were different graphics cards installed in your machine and THEORETICALLY you can use every of these cards in your machine. I cannot promise it but they should all work in this machine.
    The problem is that you have to disassemble the machine completely and if you make something wrong then you know that there is no point of return since your machine is not anymore in the warranty. Maybe it would make sense to give the machine some technician to exchange the graphics card.
    Unfortunately I cannot tell you which graphics cards fit in your machine or which partnumbers are needed. In this case youre on your own.
    Good luck

  • Graphic Card Upgrade for HP-Pavilion dv6t-7000

    Hello. I have the HP Pavlilion dv6t-7000 with the NVIDIA GT650M 1GB grpahics card. Now because of my work, i need to extends my graphic card memory. So I want to ask if my laptop is possible to upgrade to GT650M 2GB card.
    My product number is A5F74AV. And my wannary is end on 8/24/2013.
    And this laptop is a gift of my aunt from USA, and I'm living in Viet Nam now. So if yes, can HP Vietnam do the upgrade for me? My aunt's family is very busy so I can't resend my laptop and ask them to return to you.
    Thank you very much!

    Hi:
    The only way to upgrade the video card in your notebook is to replace the entire motherboard which would cost as much as buying a new notebook with better graphics.
    If you had HP do the upgrade, it would probably cost more than buying 2 notebooks with better graphics than yours.

  • Memory upgrade on Satellite A60-218

    Hi,
    Is it possible to upgrade the memory for the Satellite A60-218 models?
    I've heard that the memory is onboard (internal) and cannot be replaced. Is this true?
    If not, could somebody give me a hint where can I find the memory modules on this model?
    I have tried disassembling it without success.
    Thanks!
    Levente

    Hello
    Just for info: Satellite A60 has 512 MB internal memory and one sot only is available for upgrade. This unit can handle with max 1,5 GB of RAM. On the bottom side in the middle there is placed memory module cover. Remove it and you will find RAM slot.
    For RAM upgrade you can use follow compatible memory modules:
    PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
    PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)
    If you have more questions please write again.

  • Graphics card upgrade for HP Pavilion a1020n

    Hi Everyone! I need to upgrade the Graphics card in my HP Pavilion a1020n for windows 7 Aero or windows 8. i need the graphics card to run Minecraft,Roblox,The Sims 3, Roller coaster tycoon 3, decently. Thanks
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion a1020n Desktop Computer and it's PTGD-LA (Goldfish3) motherboard. According to the specs, your computer has no dedicated graphics card expansion slot. The only expansion slots available on this system are three traditional and/or conventional PCI slots. One of these slots currently contains a K56flex modem.
    Here is a selection of PCI graphics cards that may meet your requirements. Please note that these cards may also require you to upgrade your power supply as well.

    Hey I have a hp pavilion slimline s3420f, and I've graphic problems with games like Resident evil 5, so I want to upgrade the graphic card, but I just dont know which one to buy. I know that I need a low profile one, but I ignore any other specifications.

    Hi,
    The main problem you are going to face is your PC only has a 160W Power Supply Unit.  Without upgrading your PSU, you will struggle to find any card that will improve your graphics capability.

  • Processor and graphics card upgrade for hp dc5100 MT(EF633US)

    Can someone kindly tell me a variety of Intel processors and graphic cards which i can install in my pc coz right now i'm using Intel pentium 4 CPU 2.80 GHz and Intel 82915G/GV/910GL express chipset. but i would like to upgrade to a faster processor and a graphics card which can play games which require large graphic memory (eg FIFA 2013,GTA 5.etc)

    Hi:
    Personally, I wouldn't invest the money to upgrade that PC.
    You would be better off getting an off lease newer dc5800 MT or dc7800/dc7900 model that has a PCIe x16 video slot.
    The killer for your model is you can only install a PCI graphics card.
    Very inefficient and pretty expensive for what you get in return.
    After you install the required microcode update, the best processor I know for sure you can install would be the P4 650.
    Below is the link to the quickspecs.  The supported processors are listed on page 7.
    I do not know of anyone who that has installed the 651 or 661 processors and got them to work--even though the specs state they are supported.
    You can try the 651 or 661 and if you do, please let me know if they worked for you.
