    hello
    i have toshiba satellite A205-S4587.
    ive got some money for my birthday so i thought maybe i should upgrade it a little.
    but what can be upgraded except the memory?
    i know there is a second slot for another HD but as i heard it doesnt have cables there or something.
    so can i upgrade my HD?
    can i upgrade the video card? its gma950 but i understood its not part of the motherboard.
    what else can be upgraded?

    you can upgrade your HDD and Ram(not sure about CPU),but you cant upgrade your Videocard!

    about the hdd you mean i can add a second one or change the one that i have for a bigger one?
    and the video card...
    well there was sometihng wrong with the motherboard and toshiba replaced it but as i understood it was the only thing that was replaced.
    and in a dissasemble guide that i found by a link here in the forums i saw that for taking out the motherboard he disconected a plug from the video card so maybe there is a way to connect another video card to this same plug i thought...

    well at least i had hope...
    lol
    so what about the hdd? can i add a second one or just replace the one i have?
    there is a place for a second one but i heard that unless its a pre-moded version there are no cables or something in the second place.
