I need to upgrade my notebook's graphics. Please someone who knows what they're talking about answer. I'm trying to buy the ATI RADEON X1300 PRO 16X PCI EXPRESS 256MB VIDEO CARD off of ebay.|||No. Standard video cards only work in desktop/tower PCs, not laptops. Laptop graphics are almost always embedded on the motherboard of the laptop, and normally cannot be upgraded.|||No, very rarely can you upgrade the video card in a laptop.|||Nooooo! You need to get a mobility model. That car will only fit with a hammer. Go to the ATI website and you will see the mobility cards there(ps- that card isnt that great anyway)|||Do NOT buy that card, it will not be compatible.
The card you are attempting to buy is a DESKTOP video card.
Your laptop has a built in video adapter. It is integrated onto the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.
Laptops are designed for portability, not for gaming. So they integrate the adapter onto the motherboard to save space. Unfortunately, this prevents you from upgrading.
There are laptops that have upgradable video adapters, but they are high-end models running upwards of $1500US.
