Hi!
Can people change the graphics cards in laptops? And is there such a thing as an external NTSC DVD drive?

For the first question, no - not in the normal since of the word. The graphics card is built onto the motherboard. While I suppose it's possible to add a graphics card to a PCMCIA device, when I last checked, the speed of the PCMCIA bus is WAY to slow to serve as a 'high speed' graphics port.

For the second quesiton, my home DVD player is both external and plays NTSC encoded DVDs. What exactly are you looking for, in terms of use, etc?

I am thinking of a DVD drive for my laptop that could maybe play all regions...? Does that even exist? Can't find it so far...
