My video card can't handle Unreal Tournament 3, should I buy a new card or use an old computer's card?

Below is some information about my computer that I got off of (www. systemrequirementslab .com /referrer /srtest). The site said that my video card can't play the game but my mother's old computer can. Can I take the video card from her old computer and put it into my laptop, which is an HP Pavilion dv6000? Her video card is a 128 MB DDR ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (RADEON 9800 AGP (0x4E48)) and her old computer is a Dell Dimension 4600.



Current Video Card: Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family



Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium (Build 6000)



CPU: 2 processors running - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz



CPU Speed: 1.66 GHz Performance Rated at 3.24 GHz



System RAM: 2.0 GB



In short I want to know if I can take the video card out of my mother's computer and put it into my laptop. Can I do it myself or should I pay someone and how much would that cost? Can I also take out the RAM, CPU, or other componets and put them in my laptop?



Thank you for reading.|||you cannot put desktop hardware in a laptop|||No. Desktop parts are different from laptop parts and will not fit.|||No you cannot, no exceptions at all, it is absolutely not possible. And even if you could, that card may be able to play the game, but it wouldn't play the game well. You really need a new computer to play it, and if you plan to play games, you need to get a desktop, unless you want to pay $2000+ for a gaming laptop.|||Is her computer a desktop computer? If so, then you can't use her video card.
