Inspiron 1100 Graphics
I have an Inspiron 1100 laptop. Now, I realize that in the scheme of computers, this is far behind the times. I have promised my husband, however, that I won't buy a new one until the warrantee runs out on this one (Come on 2007!) For the most part, this computer is great, but I sometimes have trouble while playing high-graphics games. The only one I play is the Sims 2. Although I'm able to do most things, some parts of the game are blocked to me.
I have a Celeron 2.0 Ghz with 640 MB of RAM and 20 gigs of Hard Drive. My graphics card is an Intel Extreme. If any more info is needed on that, I can look it up. Although I doubt it will effect gaming, I plan for other reasons to upgrade my hard drive soon to 40 gigs.
So my question is this, from what I can tell, the only thing holding back my gameplay is the graphics card. The RAM is more than double the requirements and the processor, though far from the best, is not horrible. So is there anything I can do? Is there a way to upgrade the graphics card on this laptop? I've heard rumor there are ways to get upgrades online. Is this true?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

- Same thing here I bought the 1100 because I already had a gaming machine, but after selling the gaming machine and upgrading the 1100 to 1gb ram and a 3.0ghz(400fsb)cpu the graphics still did not general needs and just got a 9300. The 1100 is still good for everything else but highend games.
