Can laptop components like graphic cards and RAM and processor be changed like in PCs? ?

i want to upgrade my laptop specially the graphic card which is nividia geforce 8400 MX. it is not sufficient to run the new games. What new graphic card would u recommend that is sufficine to play all the latest games.How much does updating drivers help?Can laptop components like graphic cards and RAM and processor be changed like in PCs? ?Most to all laptops cannot really be upgraded except for the RAM. Mobile video cards and processors are usually attached to the motherboard and cannot be easily removed like that of desktops.Can laptop components like graphic cards and RAM and processor be changed like in PCs? ?YESCan laptop components like graphic cards and RAM and processor be changed like in PCs? ?Generally, no. The components in laptops are usually integrated in the motherboard, so you'd have to replace the entire motherboard. That too is generally not possible.Can laptop components like graphic cards and RAM and processor be changed like in PCs? ?laptop components are not as interchangeable as desktop components. This is especially true of the graphics card - you'd need a card compatible with that laptop (you should have specified what model lappie you've got). I looked for about a year for a card to install on an old AW laptop. Even though you can find many common chips (Radeon 9600 as an example), the cards there on will be platform specific, or compatible with only several machines.



You would be able to get new RAM - I suggest checking the Crucial.com or memoryUP.com websites.



New CPU - you'd have to check your manual - it would specify what CPUs are compatible with your machine. Manual aside, you'd need to know what socket design your laptop uses. The socket design may have changed during one chip's generation (there are P4's that handle the 478 socket, and others that use the newer LGA778 socket.



The likelihood is that you'd need a new machine, since new CPU and more RAM will only smoothen operations your PC can handle already, and won't actually increase its overall capability. Newer games require dramatically better components, and laptops weren;t designed for dramatic upgrades.



Gaming isn't something I recommend for laptops anyway.
