Looking for a graphics card, but ....
I am looking to buy a graphics card for my laptop so that I can play some of the newer games coming out.
I own a Toshiba Satellite P205-S6267 that I bought from circuit city (http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Toshi...Detail.do#tabs) I don't know if my laptop has a PCI-Express slot or if it is compatible with certain graphics cards because it is a laptop. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -Chris

I couldn't help you much I found this on Toshiba's site. But I can't seem to find anything about a PCI-e slot.

Laptop video cards have only recently came out and, I think they are rare and expensive, I only know one made by ASUS, based on the Geforce 7900
Its probably more worth it to buy a new desktop than a stand alone Laptop Video Card

Well, according to the specs provided at circuit city, this laptop does have an Express card slot. But as chingy mentioned they are expensive and rare.
Laptops weren't made initially as gaming computers, they were made for business users, that was the idea of having a portable computer. They also weren't made to be up and running hours on end. So, if you add the new card, you may also have heat issues.
