Can I upgrade my HP Pavilion dv7-1245dx video card for better gaming?

Hi, I just bought a refubished HP Pavilion dv7-1245dx from circuit city for 570. It is comming in the mail but I want it to have a good video card for easy gaming. If you could lead me to a website that sells upgrades it would be great!|||hey i would suggest that u just go into a computer shop and ask them. if they dont already have one they can easily get one in for you and if you like they can also install it for you.|||First of all, unless you buy a DIY laptop (one you build and spec yourself) you can't upgrade the video card. Video cards for laptops are built into the main board according to the manufacturer's spec. Only a few pre-configured laptops have video cards that are upgradeable (which is usually the same type of video card you would find in a desktop computer).

Depending on what you consider "easy" gaming, the video card that is in the dv7 is an integrated video card with shared memory, i.e. it draws memory from the same RAM that the CPU uses. This card is okay for games that aren't graphics intensive and for older games. It will have a hard time playing any graphics intensive games released in the last four years. You can check the links below for specs on the laptop and performance numbers on the video card.|||No. Video Cards are SOLDERED in the motherboard there is just no way.
