I am not the best with tech, are video cards changeable after you have the laptop?

[grannman]

@MinecraftianMustache no they aren't with this laptop.

cant run css properly even! xD.. i got this laptop NOW, its 3-4 years old!... i have the resuliton to 1024x768, i have tweaked the windows system so it looks like windows 2000, css, all settings to low+ fps config+ gamebooster+ lowed resuliton to 800x600. and i run virus, problem programs everyday! and i still get 60 fps... sometimes down to 40! FUCK THIS MOTHERUFCKER SHIT PC.. it was OK the first year! but the fan is ruing. i got two big legoclosses under it , so it wont turn off automaticly!

[grannman]

@BHFS07 clearly you've got a base version and did not pay for any decent hardware. You've got your own stupidity to blame here. Can't complain if you bought a low end dv5. I'm on my dv5 right now and it is still performing great.

You've got a lot to learn.

@grannman can i play nba 2k11 with this laptop?

[grannman]

@armanansala06 yes. You can always alter video settings to make pretty much any modern game playable.

do aussies sound like kiwis or kiwis sound like aussies? or do you both come from a common region of europe? why are you different countries? its not like there is religious, racial or linguistic differences. You could have had a whole continent with less than 30 million people and no visas.
