Trying to run Bioshock
    #7740865 - 12/10/07 02:15 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Huzzah for Christmas gifts I have no use for! I'm trying to get Bioshock to run on my inferior laptop and I'm looking for tips on streamlining my FPS. My video card is the primary problem, it's an old Geforce GO 6150 that came with my laptop, is this replaceable on a typical HP laptop? Any tips and tricks would be apprieciated. I'm not opposed to buying a snazzy new video card, but I want to know if I'll even be able to install it if I do. Thanks in advanced

In general its difficult to replace a video card on a laptop with a new sexier one

I dont know about HP though, but i think the problem is that theres no unified pci-express type architecture

I believe you're screwed when it comes to laptop video. I don't think there's an easy way to upgrade the processor.

When I got the new command and conquer I ended up spending 2 months in pimping out my PC to get it.. got new video card, new motherboard, new CPU, new fan... got the wrong cpu so had to send back to get the right socket type

what a pain in the ass it was

and I can't even play it on my laptop.

I love laptops for their portability, but I hate the fact that upgrading them is nearly impossible.
With my desktop, I can upgrade anything, anytime.
With the laptop, you need to give it away and buy a new one.
Don't have money to keep doing that.

Call up the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them about all possible upgrades you can do yourself.
You may have to send it in so they can do the modifications themselves.
