Video card help

Wildcat · 18-10-2004, 12:19 AM

Hi, I'm new here. Anyways, does anyone know of a video card that is compatible with an Averatec laptop model 3120v? I'd prefer one above 32 MB, but any with T & L lighting I'd like. Thanks

I'm not sure how old your laptop is but I don't think you can upgrade the video cards in laptops yet? If I'm wrong someone else will correct me!

I've never really looked into laptops...sorry

I believe Sniper is correct in that you are not able to replace video cards in laptops. Though that may change sometime in the near future, I don't believe we are quite there yet.

Reportedly, Alienware is supposed to have a laptop with an upgradeable graphics slot which only begs the question...."Where do you go to find a laptop video card?"

From what I've researched, the only video cards I've been able to find for laptops so far are those that connect via a PCMCIA slot.
