How/where can I upgrade a video card contained by a gateway Laptop?
Answer:
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, as the guy before me said, it is not worth it to upgrade graphics. The object being, ALL newer laptops enjoy onboard graphics. Meaning, the graphics is built right into the motherboard.
To change the graphics would imply to change the motherboard. Unfortunately, again, as be earlier said, laptops are proprietary. You would want a motherboard with usb ports and such within the exact spots as the ones on your current motherboard, WITH better onboard graphics. Even if you somehow found one... It'd cost easily hundreds of dollars that you could confidently put towards a newer laptop. (~500-800)
Hope this helps!

WHOA, most laptops do not provide an upgrade preference for video card. But if someone did, GateWay would, so contact them.
Remember, laptops are proprietary in humour. So Gateway would be your only choice. Spend a dozen hours trying to chase it down, but consider going posterior to WinDUD XP.

Good luck and Happy Computing!
shifting vid card for a laptop isn't worth it. The motherboard probably won't even support it (power requirements, heat build-up, etc). Good luck on that.
