I would Like to change the processor to a AMD Athlon(TM) II 240 dual-core processor [2.8GHz, 2MB L2, up to 4000MT/s bus]
The Graphics card to a 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4350 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter]
and the Networking card to a Wireless-G LAN card
otherwise I would like to keep everything else the same.So would this be a good computer to play the sims 3 on or not.

Asus K60IJ 16" Refurbished notebook featuring an Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor T4300 with 4GB memory

I bought this laptop and it runs great. But the graphics card is the weakest area hardware wise. Am i able to purchase a new graphics card and have it installed in this laptop? I was always under the impression that you can’t make hardware upgrades in laptops.

thanks for any information.

so far i’m thinking getting a new card installed or trying to update the graphics driver. but any info helps.
