Acer Aspire 1524
I don't know if this newsgroup is checked regularly or not, but I wanted to
know if it was possible to get a updated graphics card for this laptop. The 64Mb version I currently have is starting to look a bit old. Any recommendations? Can a tech-svvy, but not expert, person do the upgrade themselves? Thanks, Alain

Upgrading the graphics chip on a notebook is not possible on the vast
majority of notebooks since it is integrated on the mainboard. And on those high end notebooks with a separate card, it seldom is possible to swap out cards. I'd say forget it.

Thanks, I got separate advice from Acer directly which exactly matched that
advice. Bad news, but I guess that "progress"... Regards, Alain "HH" wrote in message news:XuqdnSyvVtlIk_jUnZ2dnUVZ_qLinZ2d@metrocastcab levision.com...

Regards, Alain If Acer ever upgraded the video for that model you can probably replace the system board. Not a cheap part and not an easy job. Still, might be worth investigating.
