Dell Latitude CPt, upgrading help.

[hookahsmokingcaterpiller]

Hey, I'm new to this forum and I have a dell latitude cpt. I need what parts do I need to buy in order to be able to use high speed cable internet. Also what parts do I need to buy to run newer games on it.
Thanks in advance,
The Caterpiller

well I did a little research and found out I need a network card, does anybody know what kind I need?

You need a PCMCIA network card. Very cheap, very easy to find. I've had good luck with Linksys cards.

Your laptop is totally incapable of playing modern games - I doubt most of them would even install. Best to save up $500 and get a nice basic Toshiba or Dell notebook, rather than spend much upgrading that Latitude. Even a cheap new laptop would give you a huge performance boost, and the basic Intel Extreme graphics will at least run most of the latest games, albeit at low resolutions.

thanks for responding, I was planning on getting a new one once I got the cash together. So wich notebook would be better toshiba or dell. I've heard alot of good things about toshiba and not alot of good things about dell, so I'll probably be getting one of there cheaper ons.

if u want ultra cheap cardbus, get Airlink G wireless card. I bought for 10 buck this week and it works wonderfully.
