I have a Dell Inspiron 1300, and I'm looking to do some upgrading to it sometime. Unfortunately I'm clueless as to what a good graphics card would be, especially one that would go into a laptop, I kinda need some help.

don't get a laptop, laptops have extremely limited upgrading potential, see if you can sell you inspiron and get an xps, sing the xps (unless i am wrong) has alienware specs.

Actually, what I have right now isn't bad for upgrading. I can fit two 1 gig RAM sticks into it, and possibly more RAM when larger mobile RAM is out. The socket for the processor actually has pretty good compatibility...

I'm just comfused on the gfx card. o_o I seriously have no idea what's a good one what isn't.
