im guessing you know how to work with labtops?

if not i dont suggest that. you have to be a clean bateria free environment to be working with labtops like that. i have HARDLY ever seen computer stores sell labtop video cards. you hav a better chance asking compaq to see if there is any thing you can do. i doubt compaq can do anything for you.

if you want to ocassional upgrade your labtop i suggest a dell since you can upgrade whenever you can.

if you have money i suggest a desktop. doesn't have to be the meanest beast out there but what kind of games you intend to play?

unless your upgrading common parts of a laptop i.e Ram, HDD or replacing the screen, You cannot upgrade a laptops graphics. it is all intergeted into the motherboard.

If you want a better laptop with better graphics you would have to buy a new laptop.
