I'm Upgrading my Video card?

I run the Vista upgrade advisor from cnet.com and it recommended that I upgrade my video card (graphics card). I fell just bellow the recommended video card. I hold a Dell laptop and this is my computer info:



Inspiron 6000

Intel(R) Pentuim(R) M processor 2.00GHz

1GB RAM



This is what the Upgrade Advisor told me:



CNET recommends: 256 MB 100% DirectX 9 symbolic card with Pixel Shader 3.0 hardware support (NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800+ / ATI Mobility Radeon X1800+)

You Have: ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300 (ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300 (0x5460))



Details:



Video RAM: Required - 256 MB or better , You enjoy - 128.0 MB

Video Card 3D Acceleration: Required - Yes , You have - Yes

Video HW Transform & Lighting: Required - Yes , You hold - Yes

Vertex Shader Ver.: Required - 3.0 , You have - 2.0

Pixel Shader Ver.: Required - 3.0 , You hold - 2.0



Does anyone know of a website where I can purchase a exotic video card? Or a direct link to a video card for the info I give? No Ebay please...



Thank you!

That's a notebook. You cannot upgrade the video card. If you have winxp, in attendance is really NO need to upgrade to vista.

Don't forget to try your local computer store.



I found a shop close to my house that sell stuff at comparable prices to CompUsa, as well as those online vendor linked above!



I other suggest try shopping local first, if possible.
ATI X1800 is an expensive video card. Try stores similar to newegg.com and buy.com.



Good luck.
