    I have a Hp Pavilion ze4900 laptop, 736 Ram, 1.3 G processor. I want to upgrade my graphic card from the factory Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller to something that can play a lot more games. First, is it possible to change out this graphic card for another one? If so, what graphic card should I get? (Don't need the best, just something for a laptop-$70 or less)

    No...

    That is an on-board card so it isn't swappable... Even if it were your choices would be VERY limited...

    Welcome to NBR.
    Nope. You need to buy a new computer if you need better graphics. Please SEARCH and READ next time before posting; this question is asked often. There are new user's guides in the Site Suggestions and Help forum.
