Graphics Card Replacement?
Hi, I was wondering if I could remove and replace my Intel HD 3000 graphics card on my Dell Latitude 5430 laptop.
The graphics card isn't great and I would like to replace it with a Radeon or Nvidia card.
Thank you!

You can't add a video card, no - some notebook models have the option of discrete video, but it's a chip soldered to the mainboard, not a card -- on this model, that doesn't appear to have been offered, so the only way to get better video is with a new system. You can't upgrade what you have.

Hi CMWH,
As correctly said by ejn63, the Latitude E5430 system has integrated graphics and does not support discrete graphics card.
Please refer the following link for the Latitude E5430 Owner’s manual to view the system specifications: http://bit.ly/14jE3MP

Could he upgrade to a newer processor that supports HD 4000? It has much better performance over the 3000.

Unlikely -- very seldom can a newer generation CPU be used.
