Thinkpad T40

cazua · 04-05-2007, 11:08 PM

I have a Thinkpad T40 now, and I want to upgrade my graphics card from a "32MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON 7500" to "64MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000". Is it possible to upgrade a graphics card for a laptop?

yes if it is a graphics card
no if it is a graphics chip

So is "64MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000" counted as a graphics card or a graphics chip?

In most cases, if you share system memory with the video card, it can not be upgraded. I am not aware of any of the Thinkpads that have upgradable graphics.

Hi,

That laptop does not have upgradable graphics unfortunately.
