• Chipset? Videocard?
    5 replies, posted
I have a Mobile Intel series Chipset family in my laptop and it sucks. I can't play any games without lag and i was wondering if i can get a videocard in my laptop. It is an Asus K series laptop with a duel core pentium 2.2 ghz processor and 4 gb ram..........help?
Sadly no. I believe there are external graphics card solutions, but with all the money spent on that, you could just get a whole new laptop that can play the games. Hopefully, when usb 3.0 becomes standard, external graphics cards will be mainstream.
Screw it, I'm juss gonna get a good desktop pc. Thanks for the help brosky
Didn't someone on FP get an Expresscard to PCI-e adapter, then hookup a graphics card with that? Can't remember which thread it's in, though I do remember that it only works with an external screen, the laptop display will still use the onboard graphics.

What they would have to do is make a PCI-Express external interface. Which will require the PCI-SIG to get off their ass, and do something.. and that'll just be a good luck.
