I have a compaq Presario CQ 50 series Laptop that came equipped with Geforce 8200M 256 MB graphics card. I'm a casual gamer, and but like to play racing games in my spare time. Is there I can upgrade my graphics card. The laptop also does not have any options in BIOS to share more memory. If the graphics card cannot be upgraded; is there any way I can allot more memory to it (I have 3 Gigs RAM) so I can get better framerate while playing the games?
I'm afraid adding RAM woudnt increase the Framerate....
no, you cannot get better framerates by increasing video memory.
you cannot do anything in a laptop to give it better performance in games except quit some background processes in explorer.
the 8200 is a fossil, even if you give it 1 gb of gddr5 ram, it wont perform any better, coz it wont be able to utilize the whole bandwidth anyway, its too slow
get a desktop for serious gaming. laptops suck in that regard
Upgrade if you want to play games . But in laptop upgrade = New !
