It's about my old laptops graphics card.
The original one I had was this one HD4570 just a 512MB version instead 1GB

Now I'm not sure about this one Another version of HD4570, would it work in my laptop? As I found out it's a DDR2 one and the original one was DDR3 but reading a bit on the internet this shouldn't be a problem.
My laptop is toshiba satellite L500 1QW

Thanks!

Yes, my current one is dead. I managed to bring it back to life with heating up but after a month it happened again and when I tried to heat it up this time, I overdid it and burnt it up, I'm afraid :(
I tried power up without the card while believing there is an integrated one besides the ATI i killed but no, the display is just blank (not a display issue).
For performance I don't care too much because the laptop would be uses only for browsing and similar so I don't think there is going to be a big difference.
The first link is a ddr3 1GB which seems like a better option mostly because I had the same one just 512MB version but it's more expensive and the owner is not sure if it's functional..
