Replacing laptop video card

21 Feb 2010, 08:36 AM

Hi
A Friend of mine has a Acer Aspire 5532. She just bought it last summer,but it will not play any games that I lend her.Though it has 3 Gig's Ram,It may have a older video card (Radeion 3200 140 Meg). Is ther a way to find A more up todate video card. I've built my own desktop, would it be that much harder to upgrade a video card in a laptop?

you cannot simply exchange an onboard vga such as the ati 3200 chip

an external vga is the only solution apart from using a machine decently built for the job - an ordinary laptop is not even though an ati 3200 chip is powerful enough for HD playback it is not meant for gaming
