Hi everyone! We've all seeing threads addressing how to put together a gaming PC, but i haven't seeing any on how to hook a laptop up. Space limitations, weight, battery life etc.

This are my specs:

HP Pavilion 5240US
Intel Pentium 4 3.00GHz
ATI Mobility Radeon 9100 IGP AGP 128.0MB
256MB DDR, 333 CL2.5 Infineon (DXDIAG says i got 382MB RAM (shared?)
1x 60GB HHD Fujitsu
SoundMAX Digital Audio

It runs ok...but it lags a little with some games. Do you think i should bother going up to 1GB RAM and a better card? let me know what you guys think would make a great Gaming Laptop! Budget is not an issue.

sorry to break it to you flarehaze, but from my knowledge im pretty sure that your stuck with the video card you have right now on your lap top, i suppose those manufactuers like "HP" put it so u cant really upgrade the lap top much, but as for the same, the higher the better

I enjoy more working on my PC anyways. I just wanted to be able to put that Pentium 4 to work, but i guess i can't do much with that card i got. I'll open it up this weekend, and see if i'm stuck with that 9100. Thanks!

if video connector is out the back with no plate cover screwed under it that you are stuck with it.

If budget is not an issue then get the new DELL XPS with the Nvidia 7800 graphics card, fastest gaming laptop out, and just released.
