Title: Upgrading my laptop
Post by: Rsskills on May 13, 2008, 09:58:52 PM

Well I want to upgrade the graphics card and the processor on my laptop and probably two 1GB ram sticks. I want it to be able to run games good. I have a price range of $330-500 to upgrade the processor and graphics card. I also need them to be sold at stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal-Mart, Office Depot, all big stores that I can find anywhere in the U.S.

These are the current stats

But im sure that you are aware that
upgrading a laptop will cost more than a desktop.
you might want to increase your budget for it.

you wanna upgrade from an amd turion?
and Nvidia geforece go?

and ram?  
From big name brand stores?

you might end up spending more.
