How to upgrade laptop graphics card?
I really want to play Skyrim but I don't think I can very well because my graphics card. So how would I upgrade it, I can't really afford to go out and buy a new computer. I have the Dell XPS M1530 laptop if that helps.
I found this thing: http://www.villageinstruments.com/tiki-index.php?p... But I am not sure if that would work.
Are there any other options? Thanks.

unfortunately because of lack of space inside a laptop there isn't enough room to fit a graphics card so the laptops graphics card is integrated with the motherboard which means you can't upgrade a laptops graphics card
if you're a serious gamer then the best bet is to buy a desktop computer at least they're upgradable unlike a laptop
The external docking station at Villiage Instruments is the only thing I've seen - at $200 for the lowest powered one and the cost of the graphics card - it isn't a cheap option....but it can be cheaper than the expensive gaming laptops or even getting a newer desktop & upgrading the graphics card in it.
It also leaves the laptop working as a portable machine when you take it places - just leave the external docking station safely at home!
