I have an Acer Aspire 5610-4610 Notebook, and I want to replace the video card. I have a feeling that I can't just buy any old video card that's compatible with my notebook's software. It has to fit, right? I'm running on Vista also.

I have a Acer Aspire 5610, sadly the video card cannot be upgraded. sadface.
Reason being: The Video card currently is "integrated" into your motherboard, meaning there is no port for your video card and in turn is not upgradeable without replacing the motherboard.

No it all depends if the video card is on board which it is because i have never seen an add on video card and for some reason its an add on the video needs to be direct x10 for vista and it would have to be PCIE not AGP.

You can't change a video card in any laptop. It's tightly integrated with the motherboard and there's no card slots (AGP, PCI, PCI Express, etc) you normally find in desktop PC.
If you are using high graphic application like 3D or architecture, make sure you choose the laptop with high quality video card built-in, especially with dedicated video memory (not shared with main memory/RAM).

no the video graphics is a chip on the mother board, it is not a card, so your stuck with what you have. unless you want to swap out the mother board in that case you would need to contact Acer to see if it could be done.

if the geared up-in video is broken, in simple terms setting up a committed video card. considering your motherboard is equiped with a pcie 16x slot, you will have an array of judgements counting on your budget. in case you ware no longer time-honored in changing/setting up factors interior your computing device, have a profesiona do it for you.
