My Dell Studio 15 is on the way and I think I might want to upgrade the video card for slightly better performance while gaming. I am not a huge gamer but do like to play on occasion.

It has a 256 MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570

What kind of cards are compatible with my Studio and what kind should I look for for a decent gaming experience?

Do desktop cards work in laptops?

Ouch, erm, yeah, you certainly won't be able to change the graphics card, though i guess it's a lesson learned; check before you buy.

Laptop graphics cards can't be upgraded, nor will desktop cards fit in them - the latter point should really have been obvious.

No biggie, I just want to casually play a few games, I am by no means a big time gamer.

I do have a question about the subject.

Will my laptop play Prince of Persian (newest version)
