I jsut wanted to make sure if you can install any video card available for labtops. I have an Acer Aspire 5100 and i wanted a new video card since the one i have now kinda sucks at playing videos or games w/e.. I bought ATI X 1950 PRO XTREME 256 M. Can i install this and is it good?

laptop graphics card are rarily, if not impossible, to change. the only thing you can do is get a high end laptop, which come at a hefty price.

That's correct. Laptop video cards are not upgradeable, and certainly not with desktop graphics cards. It should really have occurred to you that the graphics card you bought is as big as the laptop itself... :P
