No thanks. An Inspiron is a notebook and so has no replaceable video
card.

Try to go in BIOS and see if you can allocate more RAM for the graphics card
(assuming your Inspiron was built with a discrete one); 256 or even 512MB
*might* help.

I am writing about a Dell Inspiron 1501.
Mobile AMD Sempron Processor 3500+ 1.80 GHz
1918 MB RAM
32-bit Operating System

The Windows Experience Index was 2.0, held down because of "memory
operations per second." So I just added two 1 GB memory modules. Now the
score for Memory is 4.6 (yay!). But the score for "Graphics" is still
2.4.
I went to "adjust visual effects" and clicked "adjust for best
performance."
And so my screen looks different now--I gather this is "Classic Windows,"
as
opposed to "Aero." But the score is still the same: 2.4! What do I have
to
do to make it go higher?
