Hello, I recently bought a Toshiba m35-s456 and I really like it.
However the grahics card is only 64MB and I would like 128MB b/c I
play a lot of high power games. Is it possible to update the graphics
card? I've heard that b/c its a laptop that you can't or that its
dangerous.

For laptops that have modular graphics cards ex. dell 8600, its no more
difficult that popping out the old card and replacing with the new one.
However, Toshiba has their video integrated into the motherboard, as do many
notebooks from various manufacturers. Therefore you cannot upgrade the video
card. Furthermore, the m35series uses the nvidia 5200 chipset, which is far
from ideal if you want to play games.
