How can I update the video card in my Dell Inspiron 1505 notebook?

What are the different ways? How much will it cost? I'm looking to put at least a 64 MB video card in it, but would like to put a 128 or 256 MB vid card in. I'm looking for as many different ways possible. Thanks in advance!!!|||Unless your E1505 came with a separate (discrete) graphics card, you can't. If it came with built in graphics (such as the Intel GMA 950), then the motherboard won't have a slot for the add-in graphics card. You're stuck with the GMA 950, etc. if you bought it that way.



If it came with a separate graphics card originally (such as an Nvidia or ATI card), however, then you can upgrade to a newer one because it has the slot on the board for it.

Update:

waycar111, doesn't know what he's talking about. The E1505 came/comes in multiple configurations and could be had with either built in graphics or with a discrete graphics card. As I said earlier, the only way you can add a new card is if you configured your Dell E1505 with one in the first place, when you first bought it.|||the only way to update a video "card" (there is no card, the chip is built into the motherboard) is to throw it away and buy a new laptop.
