hi guys my aunty bought me a laptop last week and i bought the game *the watcher* and i cant seem to play it without it lagging even on low settings, i think it may be my graphics card it is a *graphics media accelerator 4500m* is it **** its also got 4bg ram and a 2.16 processor, if it is the graphics card what would be a good value one i can buy to play varios games on, and can i slot it in somewhere or do i need to get someone to install it???

Unfortunately, you can't upgrade the graphics card on a laptop. Sorry.

Also, this should be in the pc hardware forums.

No, the graphics card is on the motherboard. AMD are planning an external graphics card but I wouldn't expect that for a while.

That's the same as RuneScape lag, it's just slow, right? Uninstall any unneeded memory data on your laptop. Probably not iTunes though, cos laptops would be no good without iTunes!! Hmm..if you have more than 3 Spywares, delete them. Max 3 - you only need 1, but extras can be added for maximum protection to your laptop. Delete all malicious files on your HD. If problems persist, contact the seller of your laptop - in, which case, you will have to ask your aunty about.

I think the problem is his graphics card. That wouldn't be necessary with 4gb ram installed

Hey there! I'm going to point you in the direction of the PC Hardware board, the resident forumers in that board know their stuff about PCs ;).
