Laptop Upgrade

[dabench]

I have a Dell Latitude L400 laptop with an Intel 440BX motherboard. The video card is integrate and is only 4mb. I would like to upgrade the video but I've heard I need a new motherboard for this. Where can I find out if I can put another motherboard in the laptop that will fit and that is better?

its 98% IMPOSSIBLE TO UPGRADE THE MEMORY OF VIDEO IN A LAPTOP. A new motherboard runs at about $400+ it is not worth it.

Then save your money and wait. You can get a decent laptop for under $450.00 if you catch a sale.

Cause you aren't upgrading the video on that laptop.

The too obvious would be selling the present one and collecting cans and bottles to recycle and then use the money to by a new lappy that is on sale. J/K!

I feel your pain hope you can get another notebook book soon. Good luck.

Err, get a cheap sale Celeron D desktop for ~$100 (requires finding a sweet sale) and toss in a Ti4200 for $30. That's over $100 but you'll have a dirt cheap computer capable of minimal gaming.

I don't need a desktop, I already have one.

Whats this PCMIA video card you speak of?
