Graphics upgrade for Dell Inspiration 1150

Is it even remotely possible to upgrade the graphics on the Inspiration 1150 laptop? If so, what kind of cards would work in there well?

that sounds like an extremely old laptop... so... NO

They only started making upgradable laptop cards last year I think and that's on those extremely expensive Alienware, Vodoo, and now Dell laptops

i dont think thats possible cause all hardware on laptops are built in with the motherboard, you can upgrade CPU and RAM but thats about it.

o, belive me, its possible, but not with the Dell Inspiron 1150

It will also cost you a fortune to upgrade it
