Hey, I'm looking into buying a new Graphics card for general gaming cause some of the new GAMES don't seem to be even working on my Inspirin 'Bad VERTEX Shaders'. I was wondering which graphics card 'types' would work in my dell inpsiron 530. The standard build in one is quite poor. And some direction in which some cards that would improve what I currently have please .
If you need more info

specs XP
currently have from 'display'
Direct XP 9
Intel(R) G33/G31 express Family Chipset
Chiptype: Intel(R)GMA 3100
DAC TYPE: Internal
Approx total memory 128MB
3.24gig ram (I KNOW I think when we bought it we didn't know you need vista for 4 gig+ but meh)
You can't upgrade laptop video, sorry but they're not meant for gaming.
Also, you don't need Vista for 4GB+ of RAM, but a 64 bit OS.

Welcome to the forums!So I cant replace it at all? :< hmm I just assumed there was somway to improve it rather than it being impossible If there was a way to improve my Laptop's Graphics Card, I would have done it in a second.Well I have a desktop so I THOUGH it would have like a way so yeh nvmOn a select few models, it's possible.
You're not one of those "lucky" few though (I say "lucky" because they'd be as well to buy a new laptop as shell out for an upgraded card, they're so expensive).
This is why I don't like laptops.
