Sony Pcv
I have a Sony Vaio PCV-RS312. I was wondering if there was a way to upgrade my graphics card?
I have a "Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV" graphics card according to Microsoft's System Scan. I looked at the motherboard but it seems like (what I believe is the card since the motherboard looks nothing like any screenshots I have seen) the graphics card cannot be removed, as it has a black box surrounding it. I tried to get it out, even unscrewed the screw, but the 'box' is stopping it from coming out. Plus I'm not totally sure if it IS the graphics card. There are 3 PCI ports, and I was wondering if I could in fact use one of those. If anyone needs to I have some pictures of my motherboard if it would help, and I would really appreciate it.
in case you didn't get my last message here is a pci video card that will work in your computer. its is pretty nice I have to say I didn't know they made pci cards that nice. but it will deffinetly be a major upgrade for your video processor, and you wont have to replace your mother board.

yes if you sent me a picture I could probably tell you, if what you were trying to pull out is the video card. If it isn't, and you have on board video then the only way to up grade that would be to replace the motherboard, or use an available slot, but a regular pci video card is very low grade and slow compared to agp 8X or pci express video cards, which are the standard now, and would probably be worse off than what you have now.
An easy way to tell if the card your trying to pull is your video card, is if it has the plug on it that you plug your monitor into. if that plug is not on one of your removable cards its higher up on one of the tower and the widest part of the plug is up and down then you have on board. you can send me a picture through yahoo messenger if you'd like.
