It's LaPtop :P

And unless your laptop came with a discreet video card you can't get one to add on.

It is technically feasible to replace a laptop video card although it requires a lot more work than simply adding and removing a PCI E card in a desktop. What laptop do you have?

Hi bigfella! I'm just wondering if I can upgrade the video card of my laptop. It's an HP Pavilion 9420 ca with an integrated Nvidia go 6150. Thanks.

Integrated solutions are non-upgradable.

wasn't aware it was an integrated situation.

However, if it was not (which is where I was going) CUstom PC just did a special 5 page section on how to do this so I was going to send you a link to this in their back issues.
