I have a 6 month old Dell Inspirion 1505 / 6400 and I did not order a graphics card with it because there was no Vista then. Now I know that to run Vista Aero one needs a graphics card. Dell tells me they have no way they can fit my laptop with a Graphics card now since the mother board does not have a slot. Is there any way that I can make my laptop future safe by fitting a PCMCIA or PCI graphics card. Someone told me that there is a GeForce x1300 or X1400 card that might fit my Dell. Anyone has any ides about this one.
Dell inspirion, Duo Core, I GB RAM, Win XP, 80 Gb HDD, Trulife Screen 15", Wifi, BT,
Answer:
Do not confuse ATI Mobility X1300 (built in laptops) and ATI X1300 for desktops. Desktops have a graphics port to accept a graphics while almost all laptops don't have.
If you intend to use laptop for gaming, you should consider the 3D graphics capability at time of purchase. It looks like you are stuck w/ the integrated graphics of your laptop. OR you could sell it and buy a new one w/ ATI Mobility X1400.
There's no way to retro-fit a graphics upgrade to a laptop.
