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 Revision1.1
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?

 

Or a PCI, PMCIA, some sort of graphic card, right?

 

What starter graphic cards can I use? After I test it out, I can upgrade and go fancier.
