Am I Able To Change My Graphics Card?

By WinPie Posted in: windows

Well I have a gateway computer with a Windows 7 Home-premium 64 bit operating system, a Intel core 2 quad processor and video intel GMA X4500 Integrated and was wondering if I am able to change my graphics card because I have pretty crappy one.

    If its a laptop, probably not. Only very select laptops can. Desktops no problemo because once you install a card in the PCI-e slot the Integrated one stops working.http://www.google.com.au/search?q=how+to…

    That graphics card is really lousy for gaming. Find one that supports DirX10 at least. You might search out a good card at:http://NewEgg.com/http://TigerDirect.com/
    Be sure to be VERY careful removing the access side(s). Wear a static strap. Might go through some of these links and videos:

    Your key word there is INTEGRATED. That means it’s attached to the motherboard.
    So to answer your question, yes. But you would basically need to replace your entire system… so not really.

    As long as it isn’t a laptop, then yes.
