I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. I am unable to upgrade the internal video card. Any recommendations for an external plug in card? Thanks

Do they exist? To get any extra video performance, you have to have a good connection to the bus, and the common external interface conventions don't really allow that(USB/Firewire/PCMCIA.) Last i heard, there's no external AGP port on laptops.

Arrrrgh....I was going by what the bonehead at the local Dell kiosk told me.
