you have to find out what kind of video card options you have for that specific motherboard. i would be able to help you if it wasa desktop, but i dont know jack about laptops.

Intel Core Duo 2 T9300 (2.5GHz, 6MB L2 cache)
4GB DDR2 SDRAM
160GB 7200 rpm SATA hard drive


those are the specs if they help at all

no, you need to know what kind of video card is in there now, pci, pci-e etc... then you need to find one that is to your liking that is for mobile use, which is probly not going to be very easy to find, but im not sure. like i said i dont know all that much about laptops, but good luck.

make sure you dont have an integrated video card. you cant upgrade a laptop if it has an integrated card.
