Hello All!
I have a Toshiba P105-S6004 laptop and I am running Windows 7 32 bit, 4GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo T2600 @2.1 GHz.
Not impressive, but it's what I can afford.
According to the official system specs, the expansions options are:
1 PC Card slot support 1 Type II, PCMCIA R2.01, PC Card16,
CardBus
•
ExpressCard slot supporting Ex
pressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54
According to the explanation from this link, I should be able to expand to PMCIA, Express Card or Card Bus 16.
Also, the chipset: Intel 945GM, says that it can be expanded as well:
PCI Express Revision 1.1
PCI Express Configurations ‡ 1x16
, but isn't that for desktops only?
If Card Bus 16 is the equivalent of a desktop, I can then use a desktop graphic card, or a graphic card at the very least, right?
And on the I/O Controllers, it says:
Expansion Options
PCI Support 6 (32/33)

Also, under my Chipset Family, it says:
Upgradeability¹ PCI Express* x16 port available. Single platform can be deployed for broad range of client user needs, allowing upgrades to higher performance 3D graphics cards if required.
So a PCI Express x16 Video card would work, right?
Or an ExpressCard 34 or 54?
Or a Type II PCMIA Card..right?
Thanks for your help!
