Can I change my laptop's video card?

I would like to know if its possible to my Dell Inspiron 1505 or 6400 video car. I have an ATi Mobility Radeon X1400 128MB.

I would like to upgrade to an 256 mb or if possible to 512. Please if someone can recommend me some video card. And maybe some price ranges... Thx|||Yes You Can !!!!!!!!!

if your computers graphic card is not builtin with CPU then you are very lucky , so you have to open your laptop and access to the mainboard of it and then you have to remove the screws for the graphic card and remove it and insert the new graphic card . . . . . which is not a simple job, you have to be expert and be very much care full and also you have to know in advance that yes my computers graphic card is not integrated ( not builtin with motherboard, then open it ) , else if its builtin then above link will give you some solutions . . .

F|||Unfortunately, the answer is no. In most laptops, the video card is soldered or attached to the motherboard and there is no way that you can remove it to upgrade. However, some of the newest laptops (by the way, i only know Sony has this so far) in the market have dual video card in their systems that enable you to upgrade it. In my own viewpoint, 512 video card in a laptop can generate too much heat that this will significantly decrease the life span of the laptop. I don't expect to see any of these either in the near future unless they install a seperate heat sink and fan for the video card.|||no sorry this can not be done|||Laptops use onboard video (built in to the motherboard) and cannot be changed
