I have an HP Pavilion zd8000 laptop. The video card is just not fast enough and dose not have as mush memory as I would want. Is it possible to put in a new video card.|||Since your graphics card is built into your laptop motherboard you would have to upgrade them both. I would not recommend install it yourself if you do choose this option as it requires that you disassemble the keyboard, screen and other parts of your laptop and the chances of damaging something are high. Have a professional do it instead.
Have you considered simply buying a new laptop? You can get a decent laptop for $600 these days and I believe the new motherboard/graphics card for your laptop would cost close to $200.|||Memory and video card are two different things. Yes, the video card has memory on it.. but it sounds like you are need more memory as in ram.
As far as a upgrading the video card; not without replacing the motherboard to one with a better built on graphics chip. This would probably cost around 285.00 at a local computer shop to do.
What you can do is upgrade your memory, also known as ram. Your laptop supports up to 2 GB of DDR2 4200 ( if that doesn't make sense to you, ask a tech friend to shop with you when you go get more ).

That's how it works.|||no
video cards are soldiered into the laptop motherboard|||Kind of, but you'd have to replace the whole motherboard as well as it is built in.|||no
