Where to buy video cards for laptops?

[Cook1]

Anyone? Can't seem to find em at newegg, looking to purchase/trade for a lappy but then thinking I might want to throw some money into it, video card being one of the first places to start.

Up?

cant buy them. they are usually integrated into the mainboard unless you have that alienware gimmick. even they dont sell them anymore anyway.

No offense, but how can you have almost 4000 posts and not know that 99.9% of laptop graphics cards are integrated.

I've never owned a laptop before?

And I'm talking about those cards that have 64MB or 128MB of dedicated video memory.

Then what is that trash about MXM and AXIOM?

dont exist yeyt. still a pipe dream. no way to upgrade. besides laptops arent for gaming.

Oh, they do exist. But these are design choices for notebook makers, not aftermarket upgrade items.

there are a few that use PCI Express x16. (i.e. ATI X600 mobile or nVidia 6800Go). But even these have a tendency to be hardwired in. The first I believe were still genuine grphics cards. But the actual card was harwired onto the board. (Kinda like those network cards that are PCMIA hardwired onto a board.)
