    Hello, I've just purchased a 1GB DELL 6000 with 128mb X300 but is there a way if I separetly buy 256 MB Nvidia Geforce Go6800 to manualy change and install it on my laptop ?

    or maybe for competability reasons, is it possible to migrate from X300 to X700 ?

    like drumfu said, it can't be done. Its pretty much impossible to upgrade integrated video cards. Plus, in order to upgrade video cards on Dell laptops, Dell must offer that card with your laptop because you'll have to upgrade the BIOS as well.
