On IBM's website they had a R51 with a 32 MB ATI card. Can I later upgrade it to a 64 or a 128 meg?
thanks

Most likely no. I'm fairly positive that the GPU is integrated and isnt removeable/upgradeable.

32 Mb is not that high up there, so I assume you can run your basic games with not so complex graphics. Maybe some high-end ones under lower resolution, but you would most definately get some lag. Probably wont be able to run Doom etc without some serious flickering.

And no you cannot swap the graphics card off your R-51, it is integrated.
