If a notebook pc comes with a express card slot is it easy to add a video card?

The notebook I want to buy has a expansion slot for Express card. Will that mean there is a slot at the bottom of a laptop where you can add it yourself just like you can with RAM. Or will you have to take the whole thing apart?|||There are several different kind of "express" slots on a notebook pc, however none will upgrade the video. Your PCMCIA Express slot is a newer version of that type of slot. It allow for expansion and replacement of parts. (I.E. USB, Ethernet, WIFI, etc.)



Many notebooks now have the NVidia Go XXXX, graphics cards in them. While these cards are supposed to be able to be upgraded, currently there are no replacement cards on the consumer market. If there were, it would be something that you would have to completely disassemble to replace.|||I don't think they make video cards that go in that slot.



Most laptops don't have an option for upgrading the video - some of the higher end ones will - but even they will be limited to a few options due to size restraints.
