Powerbook Video Card Upgrade

[Thidranki]

After suffering through a year of low-end FPS (>20) I'm am looking for ways to improve. Can I myself manually switch out the video card for a better one?

Does that void any warranties? and if so, is there any way I can do it without? (I don't really want to pay any inflated service fees)

thanks

Basically, if you do that, the warranty is definitely void.

There is no "video card" all the chips are surface mounted to the logic board.

If you want a machine that you can swap parts out, you are stuck with a PowerMac.

Nope, you can't do anything. It's soldered into the mother board, unless you wanna pay extremely high prices... $1,000+ for a new mobo with an updated grphx card. Good luck finding that one.

Basically, you can't do it!

I wish I could though to my iBook G4 1.42
