    Ok i see alot of laptops u can upgrade the graphics card.

    THis is my laptop:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c01753033

    I was wondering if u can buy any ( good ) graphics card, or is there only specific cards?

    I have found some online but wondering how to know if they will work with my laptop.

    i have a crappy ati hd 3200 card. would like to go better.

    Thanks

    You don't have a card; it is built into the chipset and not upgradable.

    Yep, the HD3200 is part of the motherboard and cannot be removed. There is also of course nowhere you could put a graphics card on that basis.
    Don't buy laptops with low-end graphics if you want to play games!
