Video card Help

**imanube** · May 12, 2009, 07:21 PM

i have a Dell Inspirn 9400 that does not have a good enough memory card.

i can play the campaign in M2TW but the battles are so bad with the lag its just a waste of time trying to play.

does anyone know a good site to get a 300$ range good video card for the laptop that i have.

(im pretty sure that my laptop has a video card that i can change because that is what it said on the internet)

Check with Dell but most laptops are not upgradable for video cards.

On that site you would have found this: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Case-St...00.4187.0.html.
A little farther down you would have found this: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Upgrade...rd.3236.0.html.
Depending on when your notebook was built, you still maybe talking to Dell about a replacement if it is a proprietary slot.

where can i buy a video card on the internet though. do u know?

Only you know what is in your case. When was it built? According to the info listed in the links I gave you, and I assume you didn't read them, it says 2004 and earlier, you buy from Dell. If it's 2005, iffy at best, not all standardization had set in. 2006 on, you can buy ATI or Nvidia and probably on the Internet. Dell will sell to you over the Internet. I bought my computer from them in 2002 that way.

If unsure find a reputable computer shop. We have a couple in this town that specialize in laptops and notebooks.
