Hi all
I currently own a Toshiba Satellite L355d with an AMD Turion X2 Mobile TL-60 (2.0 ghz). I was wondering if there were any reccomended mobile CPUs with integrated graphics cards that i could possibly upgrade to? I ask because i would love to have a good vid card for games but realize that I cant just replace said vid card as it is integrated in to the CPU.
Thx in advance for the help, i will sacrifice a goat tonight in your honor.

You have things mixed up a little bit. Your graphics are integrated into your motherboard, not your CPU. We won't see a CPU/GPU combo until Intel releases Larrabee.

 

And unless the card you have is a laptop card (not a desktop one), you won't be placing it in your laptop. They just aren't compatible. Most laptop GPUs can't be upgraded anyway, whether or not they are integrated.
