Lappy gcard query

Dear all,

I've just purchased for my wife:

*url removed* model number 5739G

But was wondering if I should switch the gcard for something with a little more poke, my wife raids a lot of 25m stuff in WoW so looking for some advice what gcard to get as a replacement for the stock GT 130M.

Many thanks in advance

I'd remove the link buddy as it is a competitor, read the FAQ.

Now more to the point, changing graphics cards in a laptop is very tricky/impossible if you dont know what you're doing. Have you done it before?

Id say the GT 130 will be fine for something like WoW. My other half plays WoW on a 8600 and she is quite happy with the quality.

Ah I should have known about the link ^^

I've pulled a few laptops apart in the past but that was some years ago. I don't have an issue doing it again, thinking if the gcard was same size then switch it isn't too hard (I just need a nice tray for all the screws).

Just worried that the GT130 won't be knocking out the 45/50 fps we are looking for.

Normally laptop GPUs are intergrated onto the IC so they are not really changable.
