Friends, I know this is a silly query but I want to know if I can change my laptop's VIA Chipset with an ATI Radeon IXP400 I saw on eBay for just 1499 bucks. I have seen many tutorials online for desoldering and soldering the Chipsets. This is fun!

Yes exactly! Different brands of chipsets have different solder designs. That's why I am here to know more on it.
