Well I was thinking of getting and using this card : <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Gigabyte+Technology+-+HD+Experience+NVIDIA+GeForce+GT+440+1GB+DDR3+PCI+Express+2.0+Graphics+Card/3353791.p?id=1218397377797&skuId=3353791&st=NVIDIA%20440&cp=1&lp=3">http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Gigabyte+Te ... &cp=1&lp=3</a><!-- m -->
on my HP laptop ( can't use our desktop, cuz me mum won't let me).
I've talked to Mystic about ti, and he said it is really hard to do, but idk, I can at least try, since my games re usually laggy because of my current GPU
Btw I own a HP Pavilion dv4-1117nr Entertainment Notebook PC <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=ca&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3806991">http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/prod ... ct=3806991</a><!-- m -->

You can install a graphics card into a laptop but as far as I can distinguish, that's a desktop GPU.
What's your current GPU?

[Sman545]

Mobile Intel ® 4 Series Express Chipset family :/
And storm, all I am doing is buying a graphic card, and an external memory haha, and besides my parents are saving up money for me, so they can hopefully get me an Alienware lol.

[Ray88]

It's practically impossible to upgrade your GPU as it's integrated.
Alienware are overpriced and if you want quality with a cheap price I would suggest MSI, Asus, or Saber.

ok it depends on what sort of card your laptop has already... if it has a removable card then yes but as for a CPU dude spending that much plus the graphics card... really just buy a new laptop

I'm not totally sure about this but I think that GPU may be too big for the laptop. Have a look on this page and you may be able to find something you like. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.geforce.com/Hardware/NotebookGPUs">http://www.geforce.com/Hardware/NotebookGPUs</a><!-- m --> You won't be able to buy directly from this site but you may find something you like.

i have experience in installing new laptop graphics cards... my old Dell Inspiron I9300 needed a new card so i had one spare from a computer recycling place and installed it but i dont use that laptop anymore due to it having a 1.73Ghz CPU and 512Mb RAM

Please don't get an Alienware, they're over rated, and over priced, unless you NEED a laptop, don't waste your time with them, just buy a desktop.

You need a mobile graphics card to go in your laptop, they're a lot harder to put in than you would think, depending on the position of the card in the laptop, you may need to take the whole thing about to do it.

I googled this up real quick if you want to check it out.
