Help
Hello, I am new here was was wondering how do I figure out which Graphic Card would fit into my laptop. I have done read that in a laptop it is connected to the motherboard, making it risky to change it. Nonetheless I would still like to change mine for better gaming. If it helps this is my laptop :

Hi and welcome to the forums. As Brian has said, you have onboard graphics and that is it. I too have a Gateway Laptop ( actually 2 ) and I have played Oblivion on it and it looks pretty good all things considered.

You should buy a good laptop to be certain with the compatibility issues in the first place if you're a gamer unlike me, lost the interest way back...

Sorry you can't do it for your laptop.
There are a few external graphic cards, well, expensive and lack of choice though. Better get a Nintendo 3DS instead?
