Hi there I have been having a problem finding a video card for my laptop. The card I am looking for is a nVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 if anyone can help me find one or give me a link to one it will be very helpful to me.

Thanks in advance.

Im not an expert when it comes to laptop hardware but im pretty sure you cant buy these as individual units at a consumer level (im pretty sure most of them are integrated into/onto the motherboard even if they are "dedicated" chips).

In short - You cant.

Dell.com sells them ($320.00) too expensive for me

You can buy them I just want one under $250.00

Do you wish to upgrade your laptop GPU, if so, as other members have already stated you cannot do this. Upgrading your GPU is not as simple as doing so in a desktop computer, there are many factors to consider and very few models that you can infact upgrade.

I intend to replace the motherboard as well I got some help from the dell tech support and they said that I can replace it by simply replacing the motherboard it ships with.

The new graphics card from dell comes with a motherboard and all I have to do is replace that.

I am taking it to a reapair shop to have it done.

As long as someone certified to do this work is doing it, there should be no issues. Anyone non certified attempting to do this themselves could run into a brick wall pretty quickly.

dont i know it..i used to work in a small computer store when i was younger, i didnt even need to have any qualifications and they had me inside computers...be careful where you take it.

My dads freind can do it he has worked on laptops and desktops for about 12 years.

If he cant I will take it to the repair shop in town.

Well then that changes everything
Good luck on the upgrade.
