Hi all,

I have a gateway MT3707 notebook with a upgrade to 2 gigs of ram and a ATI Radeon® Xpress 200M which is a PCI express graphics card. My question is whether I can upgrade the graphics card to something better and if so what should I be looking for? Thanks in advance for your help!

And heres a link to the Gateway page with all the specs on the PC.

No, you cannot upgrade the ATI graphics & intel chipset as it is part of the motherboard, it simply cannot be done your pretty much stuck with what you have, now you can upgrade the HD and go as high as 3GB to 4GB of Ram, but that's about it.........

Hmm that sucks lol. Would upgrading to a faster HD, and more memory make any difference for gaming...I know laptops blow at games but it's all I got lol.

Yes it will help out some, but, not for gaming, as you don't have a gaming notebook, not much you can really do about that...........if your REALLY interested in a good Gateway gaming notebook maybe you should buy a
Gateway P-6831FX Laptop, here's a Good Thread & Review on this new gaming
notebook form Gateway: .............something you might want to look into.....

It has an ATI 200M video card so that is the one that will be limiting you the most. I do remember playing halo 1 on it before.
