    I recently purchased a Toshiba L305D-5868 and it has the Radeon X3100 graphics card. I wanted to know if this is upgradable? I have heard that some laptops have integrated cards, but I can't find specifics on this one. Any help?

    X3100 is integrated. AFAIK it is not upgradeable.

    The ATi X1300 is upgradeable to the X1400 in most Dell chassis, but that is all. No faster card can be upgraded.
    If you have the Intel X3100 integrated graphics, you cannot upgrade the graphics at all.
