    Laptop plug in video card

    I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. I am unable to upgrade the internal video card. Any recommendations for an external plug in card? Thanks

    Do they exist? To get any extra video performance, you have to have a good connection to the bus, and the common external interface conventions don't really allow that(USB/Firewire/PCMCIA.) Last i heard, there's no external AGP port on laptops.

    Why do you want to upgrade anyway? It should be plenty fast enough. What do you really want?
    If you have a problem & think that someone else is going to solve it for you then you have two problems.
