XPS M1330 Graphics Update

Question

I have XPS M1330.

Is it possible my video adapter without changing the whole mother board. I have Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family . Is it possible to get something that would run COD4.

I would very much appreciate for any feedback in this matter.

You have the right to return a system for 30 days with a 15% restock fee.

Note that you would need to change the mainboard in all cases for both the 1330 and 1530 - these systems do not have video cards; they both have soldered-in video.

Upgrading video cards on laptops is rarely possible and is difficult at best.

On the 1330 I believe it is not possible to change the card and is the reason I returned mine for a 1530 and now play COD4 on max settings at 1280x800.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

:mansad: unlucky me..its been a while i got my notebook.so like u said i dont think they would exchange it..i got it when it was just in the market. and it did'nt had so much of options like it has now..and i paid almost $1500 for it..at that price i probably can get 1530 with better video card and other stuffs..i would have gotten those better ones but since i bought it in finance, all those  would cost me over 1500$ which exceeded my credit limit..well i'll just focus in my studies then rather then playing games..lol..thanx though

I ask for mine the day they called to check everything was ok with my order. By then I had a chance to test it and realise it wasn't for me.

Games that do play well on m1330

Gears of War (DX10 AA on, Most settings max or medium)
World in Conflict (on low to medium still looks good)
Half-life 2/the orange box (medium)
Fear (medium)
Crysis - forget it - try farcry

If you play last years games then you should be ok. Also using some modded Nvidia drivers you could push the card a bit but were talking a 3Dmark of about 1400 max.

My 1530 just scored 4412 with the 169.21 drivers (compared to 4180 with latest Dell drivers) so you can push it a bit further but it's not a gaming system. Enjoy the perks it does have like killer battery life.
