I have an asus G1s with an integrated video card, which is dying because it's overheating (factory defect), and I wonder if there is any solution, beside buying a new laptop. Anyhow I will not buy a gaming laptop anymore, after this experience.

Answer
Uptake of new standards is slow.
ebay is the only current realistic place to look for add on cards.
as things develop, more and more connections are developing

In general you cant upgrade, but some laptop models are now supporting
the right connections to allow changing video cards. Unfortunately even
these standards allow the connections to be soldered making replacement
still tricky.

read this article as it is interesting if you want to buy a new laptop
with the right connections.

What kind of games can I expect a nvidia geforce go 7300 laptop video card to play?

Brian M

It scores a little over 10000 points in 3d mark 2001se and over 3000 in 2003.

I just bought a laptop with this video card specifically for gaming. I got it on sale for under 1000 and hope it is decent. It was either this video card or a stuped gma 950 or ati mobility radeon 1100 integrated card.

Also is this card a true dedicated video card and how much video ram does it have?

Answer
Out of those three cards, this one is the best.

It will play most games, though on low settings.

You can check its video ram by rightclicking on the desktop, select Properties, select the Settings tab, click on Advanced, select the Adapter tab, the video ram must be there.
