Hi I had two questions.

1.I'm located in Busan and am looking for a spot to preorder an upcoming videogame. However, I have not been able to find a store that actually sells legit PC games. Any suggestions? Or alternatively does anyone know a decent and english friendly website that ships to korea?

2.I have a laptop and I'd like to add some ram and possibly a new video card to it. Do the little computer shops out here do upgrades? I'm comfortable messing around with a desktop but a laptop simply has to many tiny bits and peices, not to mention I have no tools.

Thanks for your time.

Can't answer #1 for locations in Busan.

For #2, any little shop can ORDER the laptop RAM for you.

Most of them are NOT qualified to do work /upgrades on the hardware inside of your laptop and it would probably void your warranty if they did anything other than install RAM (this usually has an outside port for access rather than cracking the case open)..

I always thought that the video in a laptop was hardwired onto or part of the mobo and NOT changeable.

It may very well be hardwired. If that is the case thanks for the info. I never intended to upgrade it but now a damn game is coming out that I would like to play so...
