NO, laptops aren't very upgradeable. With older ones, only the RAM and hard drive can be upgraded.
Good Luck Smitty

most laptops have onboard graphics and are not upgradable. I could be wrong, but I don't think any Toshiba laptops have removable/upgradeable video cards.
you're only option (aside from getting a better laptop) is to increase the amount of system memory allocated to the graphics controller (if your bios even allows it), but even that can only do so much
It says not to put a question here... why not?

Best bet is to buy a much newer laptop.
There is only one satisfying way to boot a computer.
