upgrade a gpu on a toshiba a215 lappy

[Elvis2]

is it possible? it currently has an ati mobile x1200. the rest of the specs are decent. amd turion x2 (2 ghz) 2 gigs of ram, 500 gig hd and windows 7. it was given to me so I don't mind spending a few bux on an upgrade. i'm still gaming on some old dx10 stuff so it's like i'm not trying to run CD4 ghost. something along a 4870 would be cool.

They say that the memory upgrade to 4GB is all that can be done for this model.

agreed. 4 gig's the sweet spot for 7 anyway.
thanks

The only way to upgrade laptop graphics (if it doesn't have an MXM module, which yours does not) is this: http://www.techradar.com/news/computing-components/graphics-cards/how-to-make-an-external-laptop-graphics-adaptor-915616
