I have an IBM Thinkpad R40 that has a ATI Mobility Raedon adapter with 16 MB. I wanted to do some gaming and think I need to up to 32 MB, am I going to have to replace the video card, or can memory just be added? The chip type is Mobility Raedon AGP (0x4C59), DAC type Internal DAC(350MHz). And is this upgrade something a novice could complete? If not where is a good place to have this done? Oh, and it is a laptop by the way.
