I don't think that it is possible to upgrade the chipset in a laptop, as its usually attached to the Mother Board.

The Processor could be changed, but it will cost you a fortune to try and get hold of one.

The thing that you need to realise is that laptops aren't really designed for playing games, for games you should get a workstation with a decent 3D card in it.

HTH

Oh, Welcome to CF by the way!

 

like the others it will be virtually impossible...I dont recommend playing games on a laptop as like Simon said they are not really designed for that...best to get a desktop machine with alot of the whistles and bells...if its within your price range...

 

clearly you perculiar fellows have not heard of the XPS M170 from Dell
a 17" 1920x1200 resolution, Geforce 7800 GTX GO, 2.26 Pentium M, 2GB Ram
runs most games better than my desktop ;)


I do believe Dell and HP are releasing models with upgradable graphics using new PCI-E technology
but anything older and your stuck

theres no way to 'upgrade the chipset' on the laptop, bar ripping apart the motherboard, recoding the bios, soldering on the chip, and hoping you actually had a clue what you were doing :P

 

Blimey, how much does that awesome Laptop cost?

As a rule of thumb though Laptops aren't designed for games though are they???????

 

Dell always seem to have just one laptop in their range that has half-way decent graphics for games. AFAIK they are in a minority on this - most laptops are very bad at games!

The Pioneer laptops I sell play games like Call of Duty, Doom3 etc perfectly well thank you, I suggest you check out the spec on recent systems

 

Thats good to know - I get asked about this all the time, and in the past have only been able to point to Dell.
