Acer Graphics Upgrade Problem

No you cannot upgrade the video card do to the fact that the video card is built into the motherboard.

That's because the video is integrated into the motherboard. This PC supports HDMI... what exactly are you trying to 'upgrade'? If the on-board video is not performing as you want, from what you can see here, you may only need to upgrade RAM on your MB:

#4 at the bottom of the page:
Shared system memory may be allocated to support integrated graphics, depending on system memory size and other factors. Actual system memory available to the operating system will be reduced by the amount of dedicated and shared system memory utilized by the graphics solution and resources required by the operating environment.

As per Acer this computer model has a Integrated SiS Mirage Graphic onboard card or a seperate
AGP 8x Add-on Card (selected models). It looks like the game you are trying to install requires advanced graphics card.

Please specify the game you are trying to install and also specify if you have a AGP card installed (and what is the make and model of the same).

If you do not have a AGP card installed , we can check the game specification and try to install a AGP card and check with it.

Hi,

You can disable the onboard VGA card in BIOS, to do so
keep on tapping F2 button as soon as you hit the power button, under the CMOS search for VGA or onboard VGA and click Disable.

Thanks

Hello,

Unfortunately, you can NOT upgrade your net-book Acer Aspire One with a Graphics card. Some Acer Laptops have this feature, with a graphics card already installed or with a graphics card integrated into the system board.
If you want to have a laptop with higher graphics power, buy a laptop from Acer with the "G" ending, like the Acer Aspire 8940G for example.

This computer does not seem to have a dedicated graphics card rather onboard graphics chip on the motherboard so no you cannot upgrade unless you go for a usb or cardbus solution but those are not geared for gaming, rather productivity like dual or quad monitor setups.

You can read more on this thread if you like.

1. Try to reinstall the display drivers.

2. Restart the system.

Are You sure the graphics card is not defect?
When I installed a graphics card instead of the onboard
circuit, the SIS Mirage was disabeled automatically.
I have installation CD for the graphics, of course.
Also, I thought that disabeling devices could be done
through the control panel, "hardware devices".

faulty graphics or mainboard or maybe a connector hasnt been put on properly. if onboard graphics get an addin graphics card and try that. this will tell you if and where the problem lies

reate me fix ya!! ^^

The L100 has an onboard graphics card and is not upgradable.
