HP Pavilion WebCam|||Unless your laptop specifically says you can replace your video card, you are out of luck. Typical laptops don't offer that level of upgrade options.



You video card is a Radeon HD3200 which isn't a bad card. In fact it's better than the card that is recomended, a Radeon X1800.



The thing about laptop video cards is that they use system memory for Video memory, so you should probably upgrade your ram from 4gb to 6gb or more.



Also, you can check HP's website for updated video card drivers.|||You have a laptop.



Laptops, for the most part, have integrated video adapters meaning they are part of the motherboard.



You cannot upgrade your video card, you are stuck with the one you purchased.
