Antneedshelp! · 01-01-2007, 06:39 AM

i have a fujistu seimens amilo a series laptop and it has a

ATI mobility IGP 320M 64mb

after i bought the laptop i discovered it doesnt support games with light and transform hardware [or something like that] which most modern games have, and it does support overlay for dvds. i got around the dvd problem but the graphics one has shot me in the foot and id like to know if i can replace it, if so what with? and could i replace it myself?

thanks for any help x

As you stated, it is an IGP. These cannot be replaced without replacing the whole motherboard, which will be a near impossible task unfortunately.
