I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop and I like it. It's small, works very well but it can't quite seem to handle the more intensive games. I wanted to buy a faster CPU and Video card for it but can't seem to find a place that sells them for laptops, only for desktops. Any thoughts or ideas on this, people of yahoo?|||The video cards on a laptop are embedded video devices, which can't be upgraded. I am sorry to say.
The CPU can however be exchanged on the laptop. It is difficult to change out, because of the architecture of the laptop motherboard in comparison to the way the laptop is built.
A lot of people do not even mess around with the CPU in the laptop. Instead, I would recommend a RAM upgrade. Look at the type of RAM you have and just upgrade to more RAM. Do not mix and match though.
RAM upgrades can increase the performance greatly, and it is usually a quick fix for a smoother operating system.|||Upgrades of this type for laptops are extremely rare. Basically you have to buy a new laptop.
You can add more RAM or a bigger / faster hard drive to a laptop. That's about it. Both will likely help your performance, but not really for 3D performance (games).|||The reason you can't find laptop video cards is because they don't exist. The video card on a laptop is part of the motherboard so it's impossible to upgrade your laptop's video card. You'll have to buy a whole new laptop.
The same idea holds true for laptop CPUs as well.|||You cannot upgrade the CPU and video card in 99.9% of the laptops in the world. That are not designed to be modular, they're designed to be compact.
