    Just wondering if it's possible to upgrade the video card in a Satellite P100 Toshiba laptop, it currently has a NvIdea 7300 128 MB. I would like to go at least 256MB . Just wondering if it's possible. I know it has a discrete video card.

    Thank you!

    Is there anyway I can boost it..I already brought my system up from 1GB to 3GB or Ram in hopes of making it better since it has Turbocache. It did make a difference but not quite enough for what i need it for. Any ideas of anything else I can do.

    ThankS!

    more ram will not make significant changes to your frame per second in games.

    your gpu is what renders the graphics and is the main factor affecting FPS.

    oh, no you can't upgrade it

    overclocking will not result in much gain. maybe 1 more FPS, depending on what game you're playing

    It will help (overclocking).
    I have the 7300gt in my desktop, it gave a significant boost in all my games.
