Changing Graphics Card In Notebook?

mulisha · 25th May 2006, 20:06 CEST

I currently have a Toshiba Satellite notebook which has the following ;

P4 3.2ghz CPU
512MB DDR
Onboard Sound
Radeon 9700 Mobility 64MB
etc ...

Is it possible to change the graphics card to a newer model ? I take it this graphics card isnt PCI and everywhere ive looked so far stocks PCI with no sign of any 256MB AGP Cards, is it not possible to obtain these?

Notebooks generally use onboard graphics card with no option of replacement

Ive read that it can be changed as this is not onboard, but have yet to find a better one than i currently own but surely their must be something better than 64mb? :x

#2 You can change it, but you do not want to do that when you find out what notebook graphics cards cost -.-, tribble the price of a normal one.
