I have a Toshiba Satellite P105-S6207 Laptop,

It's got the GMA 950, I need a Card (if you can get one in a note book, I have no idea...)

That can play Company of Hero's and Call of Duty 2 Fairly well,

I'm an idiot, and need help on buying a good card, for around 100-150....ish.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's possible to upgrade the graphics card on your laptop.

Not unless you are like, God or something. The chips are built into the motherboard, unfortunately.

They're not always built into the motherboard(That's only true with on-board graphics) however they are not usually built in such a way as to be replaced, since laptops are so tightly packed.

Did my homework, and they can be swapped, but it has to be a non-glued-to-Mobo model, and then it'd be on your own, or a pricey ask-for.

Also I figured out that the GMA 950 I have is not compatible with Call of Duty 2...
