Default Graphics Card Upgrade For Dell Mini 1012? - 05-25-2012, 12:34 AM

I was wondering if there was any way of installing a graphics card into the Dell Mini 1012. I have recently been playing some 3-D games (Minecraft) and I was hoping there would be a way to do this so it would run it/them better. If there is absolutely no way of installing a graphics card, would anyone know what things I could do to improve 3-D Gaming?

P.S. I have done all the little tweaks and such like Directory Cleaners, setting the priority via Windows Task Manager, and changing the settings within the actual game. I have also tried GMABooster, but it isn't compatible with the GMA version/type inside the Dell Mini 1012.

if you didnt purchase the 1366x768 (HD screen) there is nothing you can do outside of replacing your display, people try to save money and buy a cheap machine then spend more $ trying to get what they should have bought ion the first place, I bought my machine TOTALLY maxed out, yes I spent more but I aint looking for upgrades now either Good Luck to Ya

There is no "card" - graphics are integrated on the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.
