Could I upgrade my Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi's video card and processor?

-Integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 1100

-1.6GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-50



Also, what does it mean that the video card supports up to 128MB of video RAM?



Lastly, does a duel core 1.6GHz mean it's like 2 cores that are each 1.6GHz, or is the sum of two cores that totals 1.6GHz?|||just to clarify from the jump .. "ambi n n" is wrong because your computer is a laptop .. if it were a desktop, however, the power supply issue would be relevant ..



but either way, you won't be able to upgrade your video card because it's "integrated" .. which means that it's soldered onto your motherboard so unfortunately you won't be able to .. sorry ;[



what is meant by "video card supports up to 128MB of video RAM" is that you're video card has the potential to support up to 128MB of RAM if it needs it .. since your card is integrated, it uses a portion of your system RAM as dedicated video memory ..



and lastly, it means that each of th 2 cores runs at 1.6GHz



hope this helps!
