    I have a Acer Aspire 3022WLMi and it has a ATI MOBILITY RADEON X600 64mb VRAM

    My question is, is it possible to actualy upgrade to a ATI MOBILITY RADEON X700?

    As i have searched the x600 is a dedicated graphics card so it not fully attached to the motherboard. so it it possible to actually buy a x700 mobility from somwhere and upgrade.

    If so where could i get a x700 mobility card for laptop from....

    thanks

    Unsolder the GPU, rewire everything to make it fit, then solder onto another lappy's motherboard after removing the old via more soldering and pray for the best it won't fry up your motherboard
