Ok, so here is what I am asking. What do I need to do to put a graphics card into a laptop with integrated graphics?
The laptop is last years model of the Dell Vostro 1500, with the X3100 integrated graphics.
I was going to buy it from a friend, then put a graphics card in. Naturally I realize I need a new motherboard for it because its integrated, so, assuming I get a new motherboard, the 8600 graphics card, what else would I need? And, will a graphics card work with the laptop case? (Not sure if they have two different cases.)
Thanks,
Matt
