Need right game card for Inspiron E1505

Question

I have an Inspirton E1505 and I want to play the game Lineagea II. I currently do not have the right game card. I need one from either ATI or NVIDIA GeForce according to the PlayNC support site. I do not know though which are the right models for a notebook. If some could help me figure what game card I can use from either of these brands that would be great.

What do you have in the system now? If it's integrated video, you cannot upgrade to a card.

If it's not integrated, you have either an ATI X1300, nVidia 7300 or ATI X1400. The last is the top card for that system; it's a Dell only part.

Right now I have a Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset Family. The chip type in an Intel Calistoga Graphics Controller. I'm not sure what any of that is, but I'm guessing its an intergrated video card since it isn't one of the things you had listed. Message Edited by Ceasar1427 on 01-20-200712:49 PM

Yes, it's integrated video, and it cannot be upgraded. You could replace the system board with one that will support a card, but it'll cost a bundle - $400+, plus the card - and you will lose your warranty.

If you need a gaming notebook, sell that one and buy an E1705/9400 - none of the 1505 options are suited to gaming.
