Hardware Laptop Upgrade

[mad567]

hello guys i own a laptop.. It's the only computer that I have for the time being.
I'm interested on playing some games on it (prototype, Gta IV, and some others)
Well the fact is that my laptop's graffics card is really really weak.

My laptop it's a HP dv6551ea

I want to upgrade it's graphic card and the RAM capacity..
I just want to know if it's possible

Thanks in advance

Generally speaking, you can't upgrade the graphics card. It is built into the motherboard. You can go up to 4GB of memory, but that will be shared with your video card (256MB). The link included is for the specs on your machine.

Masked has already answered the question then I would suggest getting a newer laptop but a refurbished one would be cheap and deliver the same power as something new
though 4gb ram may make some games faster, most games will be slow or not work at all

For a game like GTA IV, i suggest something that has a little more processing power as it relies on that a lot

if its better to get a desktop for newer games than use a laptop
otherwise you would need an really expensive laptop with a very bad battery life

GTA IV may run on that CPU if you install the latest update for it (Huge performance boost), but i dunno about intel graphic cards.
