   Upgrading a laptop's video card - is it possible?
  I think the video card is on-board, but maybe it can be disabled somehow and a new one can be inserted? Will this require some sort of adapter?The answer is probably going to be no, but I thought I'd give it a shot.Thanks in advance.   
  It's very unlikely. You should post on Notebook Forums with the exact model of the laptop and they will probably be able to let you know for sure. If it's a dell model that wasn't fully upgraded then there is a possibility.   ;  Thanks, I'll try that.   ;  Depends on the laptop. Some you can snap in, snap out - others you have to do some soldering and BIOS patches. It varies in difficulty depending on the brand and model.
