My friend recently got a computer given to him but the video card is only 32MB....He wants to upgrade it to a 128MB or better card but his current one is internal so can't be removed...How can he upgrade...please be specific|||You haven't given quite enough information to get a specific answer but I'll give it a shot.
If it is a laptop the answer is no. He cannot upgrade.
If it is a desktop the question is: Does the desktop have any available AGP or PCI-Express 16X slots? If yes then he can upgrade by purchasing a card for the appropriate slot and following the manufacturers instructions (basically, install the card and drivers).|||You dont have to remove the builtin ( you cant actually)
but you can add one.|||Yes. We did so for the purpose of running two monitors. Accompanying software will handle the necessary internal changes.|||Ok, what you need to do is install the card in the computer, then start the computer. At this point the computer still recognizes the internal graphics card. When windows loads up, install the necessary software for the new video card. Then go to control panel > system > hardware > device manager > display adapters > select the built in video card and choose the uninstall option. Then restart your computer, make sure you have the monitor plugged into the new video card and viola you're done.|||yes you can put only if there is a graphics card slot (AGP slot) available in motherboard. Some lack it. You can then just install it there, install its' drivers and go to BIOS to select the new card as default graphics option...There is an option there that disables onboard video. Just do that and you'll be good to go.
