    Is it possible to use a laptop video card in a desktop pc? I have a Geforce 6200, and my bro has one thats like 3 times as good. I play more games on his laptop than on my desktop. I would just like to have his, but i want to know if its possible. I mean- would a laptop video card be smaller than a desktop? And how would i manage to take a video card out of a laptop?

    Thanks

    Usually lapatops have onboard video,If this is the case then no it would not be possible to use it in a desktop.

    Alright, well, thanks i guess.


    I have an off-topic question- i have partition magic on my computer. I have had it for like 2 years and never used it before. I want to make a second partition o i can install linux and run my games from that to see if it will make a difference. How do i create a second partition and install linux exactly?
