Laptop question

[n987]

I have a quick question

I have a Toshiba Satellite,
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
System Memory 1015.0
Processor Speed 1595.9 x 2 (Centrino Duo)
DirectX Version 9.0c
Display Device Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family
Display Memory 128.0

I was reading up on the 945GM and saw this
"Additionally, it features PCI Express* x16 graphics ports and PCI Express x1 I/O ports, next generation Serial ATA, and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connectivity."

I was wondering then, is it possible to change the graphic card in this laptop then since it has a graphics port?

ConscripVirus is right you can't change the graphics card in a laptop.

This is a great website to find info on your laptop and what exactly you can do with it. Here's a link to the Toshiba Forum.
