Graphics card upgrade?

Is it even possible on this model? I haven't known Toshibas to allow graphics card updates at least on the models I've seen. Usually you would have to pickup a second hand one that came from the same manufacturer.

Basically I bought this laptop:

I'd like to upgrade the graphics card on it as the fps on games isnt very good. It's just the HD 5145 letting it down.


Anywhere I can get a better graphics card for it? (competitors should be allowed to be posted in replies for this as ocuk dont sell laptop gfx cards?)

Cheers

Less than one percent of laptops allow the graphics cards to be changed, with the majority of them having the graphics built into the mainboard, and on the ones with removeable sub cards, replacements aren't sold anywhere :(

Not entirely correct, there are some sites out there that do replacement parts, although 99.9% are US or asian based. Most famous being MXM-Upgrade, but there are other resellers out there too.
Being a tiny, expensive, niche market though, especially when the UK is so underexposed to it, the number of shops is very small comparatively.
