    I'm looking into upgrading my laptop, and i've found a nice site, with all the extra parts. the enly thing that i was thinking about (after I was told by a friend) is that one can, in fact, upgrade a video card by finding an empty pci slot. I'm not sure if this is right, or not. Any ideas?

    laptops don't have pci slots like desktops but are called pcmcia or pc card for short. not many laptops can be upgraded for video so check manufacturer site for your laptop to see what can be upgraded on it.
