Any way to change a integrated video card?

I have a HP with a integerated video card, any way I can change it without switching the motherboard or any major components?|||If it is a desktop, and you have an open available pci-e, agp or pci slot, you can add an aftermarket graphics card. On some models you may have to change a setting in the bios. On the machine I am using right now, it automatically detected the pci-e video card and disabled the on- board graphics.|||If it is a laptop no you can't but if it is a desktop you can add a non-integrated graphics card very easily- it just plugs into the motherboard.



Well if it i s a laptop you can get an external graphics card the plugs into your laptops express slot. The only one I know of is the Asus XG station and im not sure if you can buy them yet. http://event.asus.com/vga/2008/xgstation…|||If it is a desktop then you could add a better graphics card, if it is a laptop then you are out of luck.|||You can add a video card and then disable the onboard video in the BIOS (PC Setup).



Make sure the new card is working before disabling the onboard one or you can end up in a mess!|||New video card installed in a suitable expansion (PCI or whatever you have in your machine) slot then disable the onboard one in the BIOS|||No. You can however purchase a video card that plugs into the motherboard.|||Not if it,s a laptop .
