One of my friends own this laptop: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/compaq-compaq-presario-15-6-amd-v-series-v140-laptop-cq56-124ca-black-cq56-124ca/10156190.aspx?path=6107b6efcd7a960d69c878b5d628f5bcen02 Will this video card work with it? http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-geforce-gt-555m-us.html He's just wondering, how do you know if they're compatible? How do you know if a video card will work with a certain PC/laptop? Thanks guys.

It's not just a chip you can swap on the motherboard.

So having an integrated video card basically means that the video card is "built into the laptop", such that a change isn't possible.

Ahkay, thanks you guys, Appreciate the help.

waitwaitwait Don't some laptops have a PCI-E slot or something (I forget the specific name) that you can insert a graphics card into?

No & yes.. Bit tricky but in most HIGH end laptops you can change the GPU, if your laptop costs under £1500 (which will most likely have an integrated GPU) then you have no chance.

TL:DR: You can put new GPU's in laptops but you can't because your laptops not high end or anywhere close.
