    Hey guys I got a Studio 15"6 with a discrete 512MB ATI Mobility RADEON HD 4570 card, my processor is a Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P7350 (2.0 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB, 3 MB L2 Cache)and I have 4gb ram. I just wanted to see if it was possible to upgrade this, and what I could upgrade to in consideration of my other specs. Thanks.

    It is never possible to upgrade a laptop graphics card. If you wanted high performance games you should have bought a better laptop to start with.

    I was going to suggest that, but it's not always practical :p

    Hmm well I didn't really get it for gaming, I own consoles for that I just wanted to see out of curiosity if it was possible. If it isn't then its perfectly fine :) Thanks for your help guys

    it is possible but depends on game requirements & the laptop's specs.
