2. No. You need to buy a new laptop.

3. Yes. www.newegg.com|||PCI and PCI-E are for desktops, they will not work with a laptop. Laptops have display adapters (not cards) that are a part of the motherboard, they cannot be replaced without replacing the while computer.

Laptops are not built for games, and about any higher up PC can run GTA IV.

One more thing, its not just the graphics card that matters for games, its also the processor, bus, and ram. You would need to upgrade the whole PC.



If you want games, i recommend you get a higher up model.
