ya, stupid question. lol
my friend gave me the task of trying to hunt down a new GPU for his laptop, sooooooooo
i need to know, is it possible to change the graphics card in a laptop. he seems to think that it's in a PCI bus, so i'm guessing that it's not soldered onto the motherboard.
i'm wondering, if it is a PCI bus, what graphics cards are there out there for laptops?

some laptops can upgrade the video card... why dont you write down the laptop full detailes... and someone (if not me) will check it out for you...
