I have a 2.4 Intel Core i5 with 4gb of RAM. 1067 MHz DDR3. I was just wondering am I able to replace the graphics card in this model? The laptop is just the standard 15 inch, no extras, so I think it has apple 500mb graphics card and need/want to upgrade because this graphics card does not allow the mercury playback engine on Adobe Premiere Pro to work.
Got a tip for us?

No. The graphics chip is not on a card: it's surface mounted to the logic board. It is completely and utterly un-upgradable.
okay so would upgrading my ram from 4 to 8 enable the mercury playback engine. Is there some other way to "trick" Premiere Pro into thinking you have a larger graphics card?
