Ok...I'm just thinking to myself... I got a decent laptop... 140 gigabyte harddrive...2 gigs of ram...2 gigahurtz dual core proccesor...
And a 32mb video card...
Seriously...what the fuck was Acer thinking!? x.x
So anybody know where the fuck I can buy a good video card for a laptop? (And yea I can upgrade the Laptop, got the panels and everything...)
Edit: Correction: 160GB harddrive...
WTF was Acer thinking? Dude I'll let you know now....Laptops are gay for gaming. I found this out myself when i paid 2grand (australian) for a laptop that couldn't even play Elder Scrolls Morrowind without crashing.
Do yourself a favour, if you need a laptop for work or school, buy one that is capable of word processing. That's it. And if oyu need it for photoshop or whatever, just get one with heaps of RAM (which you have done). But if you want a comp for gaming, go out and build yourself a desktop. They are cheaper, faster, and so much more powerful.
Or you can keep upgrading your laptop....
Just remember though, you can't replace your motherboard in your laptop once the slots become outdated. And most laptops dont allow you to replace videocards. The panels underneath are usually RAM, CPU and HD panels.
When I run dxdiag.exe it says I have 514mb (not 512, yes it is 514) on my Graphics.
The computer is most likely using RAM for the graphics. That's my guess. Only way I can think that it would run it.

This laptop was free... (Parents got it for me...)
And compared to my old system (Windows 98SE) its hella good. Shoot, most advanced game I could play on the old machine was Diablo 2, and that lagged like fuck.

No you don't. That doesn't even make sense.

Well then IDK, I bought ATI X1300 Pro 256mb.
When I run dxdiag.exe it says I have 514mb (not 512, yes it is 514) on my Graphics.
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
