What he said, Or just add more Ram Basically he is right ram is the cheapest and easiest way to upgrade a laptop. Apart from that a new laptop all together is usually the best option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigRFC 1 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Why would it be cheaper to buy a new laptop? there surely must be a better graphics card i could get? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david271994 0 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yes but it will be very hard to put it in and you might ruin some parts putting it in as all the parts are so close togerther. If you can build your own pc. Its cheaper and it will teach you alot about computers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the current market and for the same price you bought that you could probably get another laptop 2 - 3x times better than what you currently have.

Guest The Brown Brogue Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 As far as I know you can't replace the graphics card in a laptop as they're fused to the motherboard or something, its not like a desktop where you can just whip the old one out and stick a new one in. Same goes for the processor, you're pretty much stuck with what you've got. The only thing you can really change is the RAM, but your laptop has plenty already so adding another gig wouldn't see a massive increase in performance, especially as I think some versions of Vista cant recognise more than 3 Gig of RAM, depending if you have the 32 bit or 64 bit version.

david271994 0 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 So basically if you want to upgrade all the time build your own PC and upgrade when you want. If you want a laptop just get a new one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
