No, it's not possible to change your video board on a laptop, as the video capability is built into the computer's motherboard. (Actually, there is a PCMCIA video adapter for laptops but it is really intended for OLD laptops that are more than five years old.)





With a reasonably new laptop (newer than three years), you can increase your video memory by increasing the computer's memory. If your computer has only 512 MB of RAM, increase it to 1 GB of RAM. In most recent laptops, this will increase the display memory from 64 MB to 128 MB. In addition, the extra RAM for program use will make the software run faster.





So if your laptop has 512 MB of RAM, increase it to 1 GB. If it has 1 GB, taking it to 2 GB may help a little but probably not a big difference.
