I have a Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family and its not to good at playing modern day video games. All i want to know is can intel swap out the Chipset for a better one if i send my laptop in? if they can how much would it cost and how long would it take?

Thanks to all who reply

In my opinion it is not impossible however most if not all chipsets are internally soldered in your laptop motherboard. Intel can't do it. Only the laptop manufacturer can if they are willing. So the best solution to your problem is to replace or buy a new unit (a gaming type unit). For gaming a desktop will provide more flexibility when it comes to games than a laptop.
