    I got a Toshiba Satellite A305-6858, I got 4GB RAM, 320GB Hard Drive, 2.0Ghz processor speed. Intel Core 2 Duo. it has Intel GMA / Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family
    I'd like to upgrade it to an Nvidia GT series card. I don't know if I can remove the card/chip/whatever. i'm a newbie at this, if i wanna upgrade it, what should i do?

    Simply answer no.

    Long Answer: 99% of laptops cannot be upgraded. Yours is one of them.

    And with that, thread closed.
