Upgrade video

#1 Post by slojes » Wed Jan 21, 2009 10:40 pm

Is it possible to upgrade the video in a T61 that has the integrated Intel video? Can a video card be added, and if so where would one get a notebook video card - Lenovo or a place like newegg?

Nope, it´s soldered to the mobo. However, you could get an Advanced Dock, it has a slot for a graphics card, but unfortunately not every graphics card would work with it due to size and power supply limitations.

Alternatively, you could get a new motherboard with an nVidia GPU. But this option is probably price-prohibitive.
