    Well lads (& Ladies)

    I just got myself a sweet notebook (15"), really nice specs! But the only problem is the graphics card sucks! Its an integrated intel media accelerator.

    So I was wondering is there any way I could buy a half decent independent graphics card and install it?

    Or would it even be worth the hastle just to play games like Minecraft and CS:S on full settings

    I don`t think there is any pci-e slot on that notebook I am afraid, so upgrade is not an option.

    Damn, you're right...so is there any way I could squeeze anything more from the integrated graphics I have?

    It can be done, in some cases, but is a really bad idea.
