VGC VA1 Graphics

Hydraxxx — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 19:24:18 GMT

Can someone tell me whether I can change my current graphics card ATI Radeon x700 to a better one?
Not all computers allow this change so I need you to help me if I can on this one.

Model : VGC VA1

If you look at the ATI Website it looks like the X700 is a notebook graphics chip.

This means it will not be replaceable economically as it will be soldered into the main board of your VA1.

So there is nothing I can do to have better graphics??

I don't think there is anything you can do.

There are some external Graphics cards coming out for laptops but these will only work with an external monitor.

External monitor, does this mean i would have to have another monitor which is connected to my VGC VA1 ??

Hi Hydraxxx

These are not available yet and are not really suitable for 'all-in-one' PCs like yours.

I'm afraid you just have to accept that you cannot upgrade your Graphics on the VA1.
