Can you replace or augment the graphics card of a MacBook?

Asked by Ria777 (2687points) June 5th, 2009

a related question: can I use the new card to its full advantage while still using a Mac OS, or would it help to also run Windows? thanks.

Um… Their is no way to replace or augment the graphics card in your Mac. If it were physically possible then it would have to be compatible with OSX and just about any hardware upgrade will help Windows.

Well, it’s a part of the Logic Card, so yes, but no.

Yes, you can replace your logic card, but no, it won’t be cheaper than buying a new computer.

Why do you want a better graphics card? I will also say that the new base macbooks have decent Nividia integrated graphics.
