    I've a decent graphic card, that are just able to run my games. I was just wondering, is it possible to upgrade my ATI Mobility Radeon 3650 graphic card from a 512MB to a 1GB. Because, its sounds likes it can. But my knowledge is somewhat missing at this point of time.

    A305-S6916
    Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T6400
    Operating System: Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium (SP1, 64-bit)
    Memory: 4GB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz SDRAM
    Memory Size: 4GB
    Memory Speed: PC6400 DDR2 800MHz SDRAM
    Display Type: WXGA with TruBrite® Technology
    Display Resolution: Supports 720p content, 1280x800
    Graphics Engine: ATI® Mobility Radeon™ HD 3650
    Graphics Memory:512MB DDR discrete memory + up to 1790MB shared memory w/ATI HyperMemory™ technology

    Edited: In order to give reviews a better idea of what Laptop and graphic card Im running.

    I very much doubt your laptop supports independent updating of your graphics because most don't. A brief Google suggests that this is indeed the case.

    Thank you, ddp

    For moving my thread into the correct forum, I was in a bit of hurry and didn't see that they had a forum for "Other PC Hardware". I have A305-S6916 Toshiba Satellite.

    I have edited my post on the details about the version of my laptop.
