Modding a laptop can be a difficult process - it is usually hard to update the graphics card especially. The graphics card that you are using in a tower computer for example cannot be inserted into a laptop becuase the pins are different. In fact my graphics card on my desktop machine is thicker than my laptop is! I would look online or at like CompUSA to see if anyone is selling laptop GPU (graphic proccessor unit) cards. If you go to those types of stores you will notice that everything is different for laptops - the memory and card sizes are all alot smaller and the pin arrangement is different. I would also suggest that you look on NewEgg.com to see if they are selling graphics cards for laptops. They are a very reliable site with awesome customer service, low prices and wicked fast shipping. Good luck!

graphic cards for laptops are wasting your money, you'll eat the hell out of your graphic card, and it won't improve much due to the speed of the laptop.

Yea, thats true. You shuld use an stationary computer to play games. A notebook is not made for that. So your games wont get any better anyway.

objects will be very blury. Now i understand that this is an old laptop and it may be suppose to

Matrox Introduced A New Graphic Card!
(1) Some time ago Matrox introduced a new Matrox Millenium G550 PCIe, which runs on PCI Express x1. If
you find it difficult to understand that x1, you are right, because usually graphic cards use PCI
Express x16, especially the new more developed systems. But as soon as we look at the
specifications, it becomes clear why Matrox decided for this x1 slot. On this card there is an old
G550 processor, which is not capable to run modern gmaes (DirectX 7 support only, 2×2,...). But this
card was not ment for that sort of users, servers and industrial computers are the targeted gr....

in offices. So Dell and HP are very likely to use this option because it is cheap and enough
powerful. There are also roomers, that this card is goin to be capable of running games like Doom
