This is more of a Video card question than a laptop one, that's why it's here.

Here's my Laptop specs:

Core 2 Duo T-5250
3GB RAM
250GB HD
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 XT

I played on a laptop with 2GB of Ram and the Radeon 2600XT and it had far faster graphics. I don't know what the actual difference is between them. I want to know if my Video Card can be upgraded? Here's the pics of the inside. I've never put one in before, so I have no idea.:think:

That looks like a wifi card to me. And i think the video is integrated into the motherboard. It was in the 2 labtops i disected.

That is indeed a wifi card with 2 outputs for the antennae. Majority of graphics card are onboard or in a location deep within the laptop covered by a HSF.
