Okay I have a Dell Inspiron 600M that's about 6 months old; I love it, but I went cheapo on the display and didn't get the best video setup available... as a result, my resolution sucks and I can only make the screen 1024x768 or 800x600. I went to the Dell website to see about upgrades, but didn't see anything about upgrading the video specs.

I have the Mobility Radeon 9000 video card, currently, and the non-sxga display... is there any way for me to upgrade this or do I just have to call it a loss? I want to make my screen bigger damn it!

 

That's pretty disappointing if you can only do 1024x768 on a 15" laptop.

And I'm pretty sure there is no way to upgrade that card. You're stuck.

 

It's built onto the MB most likely, no way to upgrade, sorry. If you drive to Philly and get my old laptop, you can have it, 1600x1200 resolution on a 15" screen.

 

According to a quick Google search and my memory, that's a 14" laptop, not 15". 1024x768 isn't a bad resolution for something that size. Too much bigger and you'll fog up the screen trying to find toolbar buttons and such. Anyway, you'd have replace the panel itself which is cost prohibitive.

 

Sucks. Oh well, thanks guys. *sigh*
