if i upgrade my RAM is this the same thing as upgrading my video card? i ask because when i google search upgrade video card for my laptop, dell only offers me the upgrade RAM page.

If you have Intel graphics, you can upgrade your graphics by swapping out your entire motherboard for the motherboard with an Nvidia 140M chip on it, which is marginally better. The problem is that this is expensive, and the Nvidia 140M chip (along with several other Nvidia chips from around 2007-2008) has a known manufacturing defect (defective solder pads or something like that) that causes it to overheat and eventually fail, so upgrading your graphics is a fairly poor idea.
And upgrading the RAM and video card aren't the same thing and won't result in equivalent performance increases because they're different things. That's like taking a fighter jet and asking if upgrading the engines and the weaponry are the same thing.|||You can't upgrade the video card because Dell is a evil corporation who thinks it is cool to install Intel Integrated graphics because the majority of the buyers of dells just play flash games and e-mail and Facebook. If I were you, I would get a Toshiba.|||Ram is upgradeable, graphics on a laptop is not, as it is part of the motherboard, sorry.
