Hi. Sorry if this is the wrong section to post I'm not sure where to put it but heres my questions.

I have this old laptop (got it in 2009)
http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/advent/laptop/9315.htm

Can someone please tell me if its possible to update the graphics? (Install a graphics card) as this thing has terrible onboard video and can't even run a game called Soldier Front.

If anyone can help me find a compatible card it would be greatly appreciated and i know you will probably say "save up for a new computer" but thats not an option I need a card for this if possible.

Please advise me here. Ty

No you cannot. Usually, graphics cards are soldered to the motherboard.

So unless you can un-solder, take off the GPU, then re solder another GPU that just so happens to work, then you won't be able to do it.

If it is a big problem, you have to get a new computer.
