Even if you could it would be cheeper to buy an entire new system from the ground up. ^^ roughly $400 for a working system that far exceeds the minimum requirements for FFXI.  ~No song is good without...

However, most new laptops let you upgrade the video card.
I suggest going to nvidia.com or searching google.com.
It shouldn't be hard to find one at all... | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 02-10-2003, 02:14 PM | #5 (permalink) | | Waka Laka~:Mod: Super Moderator Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Austin, Tx.

There are tradeup programs so you can "upgrade" your laptop, but upgrading seperate hardware isnt really a good idea money wise. Unfortunately, from experience, I can say that Toshibas are peice of junk. Sorry Lady Kelenae. They arent as bad as say Compaq, but alot of students in my class, when I was going to school, got toshibas and had many problems. I would say the least problematic Laptops are probably Dells and Sagers. Sagers are tanks so expect a heavy machine if you get one of those. Its almost as sturdy as a nahgra. ~^^~ If you don't really need a laptop I would suggest getting a desktop computer, since it would be cheeper to get a desktop computer with the same hardware as a laptops, and desktops are much more easy to upgrade. ~JYAN~  ~No song is good without...

I got my Geforce 4 Ti 4400 128meg for like £90 and my friend got riped off and he got a Geforce 4 Mx 64meg for £100, so the prices very.
