Hello~
The information for the The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 mentions a PCI Express X16 port:
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica] Benefits to Consumers:
"PCI Express* x16 port available¹ to upgrade to higher performance graphics card if required for extreme gaming."
Benefits to Business:
[/FONT]"[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]PCI Express* [/FONT]x16 port available. Single platform can be deployed for broad range of client user needs, allowing upgrades to higher performance 3D graphics cards if required."
My graphics: Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset Family (Integrated into the motherboard)
Does the Accelerator offer anything for my laptop at all regarding the PCI feature (specs also @ the link below)? Because the footnote under Upgradeability says at the bottom of the page:
"Available with the Intel 945G Express Chipset"
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 Overview
What is the difference between 945G & 945GM? Is it only on new computers & not integrated like the GM is?
And if it is integrated how could the graphics chip be upgraded? I thought there was nothing Intel graphics could be upgraded to, card-wise.
This accelerator, I'm downloading it because it came out after I bought my computer. But is there anything I can do with this PCI Express port? Also, is there such a thing as an external Express port than can be attached via a USB port?
