Is it possible to upgrade the video on something like that? IE is it possible to install a card and disable the sis controller?

Just wondering..I'm on the road alot.

cheers,

To be honest with you, i'm not sure. I did alot of reading one night on the web about guys who were swapping out cards on their Dell laptops. Mine was an 8100 inspiron. I hated and still do hate Dell, and their laptops, basicly everything they sell. But I found a good deal on a card for it and decided to try it... Just for the sake of seeing if I could do it and if it would make a difference on some games I was playing on it.

With some laptops, you are able to swap cards... Others, dont have cards to swap.

so the ability to upgrade is there...that much I know about.

But this Intel integrated garbage is just that.....

I got Call of Duty 2 for Xmas....it won't run it.....
I got Codename Panzers from my daughter....cant' run it.

Besides....wife ack will become deadly accurate if I try anything that'll void warrenty.


Anybody else out there with an MDG system?  How do I get into the BIOS?


Well if you order the graphics card from the people your bought the puter from and either have them install or in some cases they let you install. You won't void the warrenty. Give them a hoot and see how to do this.

Here is my view on this and some wife ack defence:

How much is the warranty worth if you can't play any games on it?  

I have seen peple send their PC in for warranty for 2 weeks to replace a $30 part that would have taken 10 minutes to replace with the PC in place without removing a cable.  

If it ran for 6 months with no problems, it will run another 6 months.

If you can afford to spend an additional 50%+ markup , labor and cost of shipping etc... to have it installed, I wouldn't be worrying about warranty :)

Good Luck!
