I know a good amount about hardware, but not when it comes to installing and removing and all that stuff. I was wondering if I could switch the video card in my new laptop (NVIDIA GeForce 8400) with the one on my PC (NVIDIA GeForce 7900). Or even just buy a new one.
Will my PC one be too big? And if I Buy a new one, is there a difference between laptop cards and PC cards?|||Yes. Laptop cards are actually built into the motherboard with specialized dedicated memory resources.
You cannot put a PC card into a laptop.
You can buy an external PCIMICA Video card that will do just what you wnat it to.|||Cannot put desktop video cards in laptops...the design is totally different.
Most laptop video cards are -not- replaceable.|||Nope. Laptops all have integrated video on the motherboard, and the PC card has nowhere to go.|||u cannot put a desktop graphics card into a laptop.the sizes are different.do some research before asking such silly questions|||The PC one won't have a socket to fit into, would be several times thicker than your laptop even if there was a socket, and would overheat and overload the system in seconds if you managed to bend and re-engineer everything to let it fit in.
Basically, you can't ever put PC cards in a laptop. Worse, it's almost impossible to change the graphics units in a laptop. There are a few models with upgradeable graphics, but they are rare.
