Title: Upgrading my Graphics Card
Post by: core.C o k e on August 02, 2005, 12:20:17 am
not sure if this is in the right section but nm.
i have a 1 gig powerbook with a 32Mb graphics card. the card was fine but a lot of newer games need at least 64 so i wanna upgrade, i expect this will be expensive (if at all possible) any ideas how much i can get it for and where and indeed if it is poss to do.

the only way would be to completely exchange the motherboard and pretty much everything in the PowerBook... it'd basically be easier to just buy a new one, and probably even cheaper.

reply from service place....

"It isn't possible to upgrade the graphics on any apple powerbook or ibook.
The graphic cards and integral to the main logic board and as such, are
soldered to it."
