INFO help needed for my laptop ...
      #382918 - Mon Feb 04 2008 07:28 PM

Hi all,
Basicly i have a Advent 9115 laptop, i recently whent to a website that basicly dose a quick online scan on your pc and checks you specs to see if they are good enough to run a game, the website basicly has a list of games to check out.
I for instance want to play Gta:sa on my laptop so i scans it etc.
Now ive got all the MINIMUM specs to play the game apart from the video card.The minimum i need is a 64 MB DirectX 8.1 compatible video card (NVIDIA GeForce 3 or better) but i have a You Have: SiS Mirage 3 Graphics well thats what the website says.

So what i want to know is " Is it possible to upgrade the video card on my laptop?" A lot of people have told me that its not possible on most laptops.

Also what else is possible to upgrade on it?

Sos for this really long boring post all.
Jme.

And a lot of people have told you right. About the only thing you can upgrade on a laptop is additional memory. Basic laptops aren't primarily designed for gaming. If you want one that does you will need to spend at least 7 to 8 hundred ponds on it.

Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.
