Machine specs I could discover are

Would it be possible to install a more powerful grahics card that would be compatible with the rest of the stuff and right size ? If so what do you suggest ?

Thank you very much for any assistance

Cheers Stu

hey up,

You would need to contact the vedor directly as far as im aware dude.

Graphics cards on laptops can be upgraded, but it depends on how its intergrated into the laptop in the first place.

Only the vendor could tell you what type of card you would need to buy to replaced the 7800gtx as its not going to be a standard pc type card.

Im not too clued up on the card slot names on the laptop graphics used, but i know there are 2 types. So would depend on the type and also the biggy YOUR BUDGET.

As i dont think it will be cheap.

Rock have their own forum, and a support ticketing sysem that work online. drop over their site and have a look/ask.

i cant link as they count as a competitor (ocuk also sell lappys)

At this moment in time I don't think there will be a much better graphics card than the one you have. The next gen of mobile Direct X 10 GPUs are due out very soon though
