Laptop Graphics/Upgrade

Fusion251 · 2009-10-15 11:44:04

Hey, Does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade from an intel GMA X4500 Graphics Controller to something that will support OpenGL 1.2 and Pixel Shaders 2.0? I understand that this card is on the motherboard...just wondering if there are any other options? It's in a Latitude E6500. Cheers Fusion

Nope, though I'm pretty sure the X4500 supports both of those requirements, as do the older Intel variants.
