Does Anyone Know?

Is it possible to upgrade the video card on the Inspiron 5150.  I currently have the 64mb Nvidia GeForce FX Go5200, I would like to upgrade it in the near future and was wondering if it was possible to do this and if so what can I upgrade to?  Thanks for any help you can give.

    The only other card for the 5150 is the Ati 9000(64mb or 32) you have to buy it from Dell spare parts or maybe on ebay.  By the way its not a better card then the one you have already.    Joe

    Try searching the forum - that question is asked at least twice a day.

    You would do well not to slam Matt here, he is probably one of the most respected and helpful people on this forum. He has a point and I agree with him, this question is asked all too often when if people just had a look on the first page or two of this board they would find their answer several times over.

    No slam was intended.  I relize that matt helps a lot.  In most cases it is the newbee that ask a question before reading all the posts.  But really it goes back to "If you have nothing positive to say,don't say anything".  If no one answers him,maybe he will search on his own.  Its better then being at the end of a negitive post.  Also not every one has the time to search.  End of discussion
