I have the Ati radeon mobility 7500c w/ 64mb. Can I put in, or pay someone to put in, a better video card? Can I get atr radeon 9800? If not, whats the highest I can get?

I have developed a liking for mmorpg games and would really like an upgrade. Help please!


thanks




The best you can get is the 9000 w/64mb.

how can i go about doing that...I cant find any video upgrades on dell.com when i use my service tag.

 

And this installation is probably alot harder than memory, i dunno, but isnt the card welded on?

You have to order the card from the parts dept. Part #Y0708. It isn't that difficult to replace, as long you're comfortable opening up your notebook. You must also update your bios. The card is not "welded" in.

I can find no listings on dell's site that says the 9000 is compatible w/ the inspiron 5100.

It never shipped with the 5100, so you'll never see Dell publish it as compatible. 

It does ship with the 5150, which uses the same video card as the 5100, so it will work.
