What video card is best for the Compaq Presario 1800T?

I'm trying to upgrade my laptop. I found memory, I somehow crammed a 70GB hard drive in there and the battery is old, so I'm changing that as well. I want to ask what video card is best for the Compaq Presario 1800T.|||Most laptop video cards are integrated onto the motherboard, that is they are soldered on and cannot be removed or replaced. As far as I know Compaq does not offer any form of video card upgrades for their laptops.



In order to upgrade a laptop's video card you need to ensure that it has an MXM module (very few manufacturers use it), also laptop video cards are incredibly expensive (3-5x their equivalent desktop card) so it may make more sense to purchase a new laptop and send your old one in for recycling or give it to a friend.|||You typically cannot upgrade laptop video cards as they are permanently installed to the laptop's motherboard. Your best bet is to try and over clock it but I do not recommend this as you will not see too much of a difference and it may cause your system to become unstable.
