    Nope, you can't upgrade it sorry.

    I suppose the semi-good news is that for the price of a video card that will run the latest games you can just buy an Xbox360.

    CoD4 runs at about 22 fps on all low settings on a geforce go 7400, which is a speed demon compared to your onboard gma950. So, sorry, but IF it even starts, it would be far from playable
