Subject: Laptop Graphics Crad upgrade?

Question
Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade the graphics card in my Advent 8115 laptop, which has an Intel GMA 950 graphics accelerator.

I'm curious as most of the games I've purchased for my PC won't work on the laptop and soon, I won't have access to a PC as it is being sold.

please let me know if there is anything i can do.

Thanks :)

Answer
Honestly, no, laptops are proprietary pieces of hardware which generally don't have many upgrade options for graphics. Contact the original hardware vendor and see if an upgrade is offered, however don't hold your breath. Another thing to note is that while an upgrade may exist, it may not be worth the price.
