Can I upgrade my Inspiron 1420 Video card,128MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M GS, to something with a bit more power?
If not, is it possible to crank up the video ram to at least 256mb, maybe even 512mb? Thanks!|||Judging by the specs, and the 1420 being a dedicated memory graphics card (Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS) it looks like it should be replaceable. Remember of course to look specifically for laptop/mobile graphics cards ;)
Check out the nVidia link here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_840…
It will show you higher memory cards in the same series are available.
Oh one further point to keep in mind. You may be sacrificing some of your battery life for the more powerful card.
Edit: While posting the above so did James... James here is failing to realize you're on a laptop.
also note two "mini-card" expansion slots on your Inspiron 1420's spec sheet on the dell site.|||ya you should be able to just pull that card from the pci slot and just put a new bigger better one in i use dual nvidia geforce 9800 gts's and its sick but i have a very custom xps lol but ya you should be able to
