Is it possible the change the video card on my laptop? I recently bought a game but it won't run because my video card is not good enough. I haven't got a problem with buying a new video card but I've been told it's impossible or near enough to change it.
Does anyone know how or where to get my video card changed? Or if it's even possible at all?

no its impossible to change it, it's soldered to the motherboard
it's a well asked question on here...thats why i recommend serious gamers always buy a desktop ...more power at far less cost
laptops aren't really designed for gaming UNLESS you spend a serious amount on them (alienware etc)

What you want is so easy to do on a desktop but almost impossible in most laptops. There are NO retail internal graphics cards. There are proprietary ones for some models of Dell and Alienware.
The expensive ASUS XG Station literally turns your laptop to a desktop. It needs an external monitor.
