martindeck 05-16-2007, 12:56 AM Is Latitude C600's Graphics card replaceable / upgradeable? I heard you can add another graphics card with more memory. I need to replace its existing 8mb video card, wanna play games badly. mscrx 05-16-2007, 03:00 AM yes you can. have a look in ebay... for example: Item number 220112410783 good luck!! Ad 05-16-2007, 03:00 AM raybay 05-16-2007, 03:07 AM You won't see much difference. The C600 was built in 2002. raybay 05-16-2007, 03:13 AM The eBay unit is the same one as that delivered in the original Latitude. It is good if you have a failed card, but doesn't improve on performance over what is now in the computer. You can update the drivers for improved performance, however. mscrx 05-16-2007, 04:32 AM oh sorry the item description was confusing. you are right "raybay" it is the same as delivered and may only replace a broken one. also I think that a C600 does not have the specs for a gaming computer at all. thx, martin martindeck 05-16-2007, 08:54 PM Thanks, guys. It doesn't matter if it doesn't have gaming specs, cause I just play games that just requires 16Mb, though it has 8Mb. But I still need a 32Mb to play some certain games smoothly... raybay 05-16-2007, 11:52 PM I assume the one you have is working. There is no known replacement except for repair. martindeck 05-19-2007, 08:40 AM I'm just confused. So my current 8mb can be removed and replaced or not...? raybay 05-19-2007, 09:04 AM No known upgrade exists for that laptop. It is too old. But good replacements abound if the one you have is defective. It will still be 8 MB. You will have to buy a more recent laptop with a more "modern" configuration to get 16 MB. It can be removed and replaced, but it cannot be upgraded to 16 MB. Ad 05-19-2007, 09:04 AM CCT 05-19-2007, 09:07 AM An upgrade can be made to an internal ZV (zoomed video) card BUT that doesn't work with anything beyond Win 98, even if you could still find one. http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:dAzV3WM8MpMJ:support.ap.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/latc600/en/ug/specs.htm+zoomed+video+win95+dell+c600&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=ca |
