I've looked all over the net and can't seem to find video cards that will work with this notebook here are the specs. I'm looking to upgrade the processor and video card cause whenever i go to system requirements and run a test on basic games it always says fail for either the onboard memory or the processor is not powerful enough.Where can i go online to find some upgrades for this notebook to make it so i can play games on it.

You can't upgrade the CPU or video card on a laptop. If your looking to buy a laptop that can play games be prepared to spend at least $1000, probably closer to $1500.

A dual core T4400 should fit on it. A video card upgrade might prove a tad more tricky, as it seems you can't eliminate the current GPU in the BIOS, giving an error when switching the GPU for an upgrade...

If you bought this laptop recently at a Black Friday sale, you prolly got it for under 200 dollar, so no big deal if you can't upgrade. Or so I assume...
