    What do you mean by gaming card? If you mean graphics card, then you are out of luck.

    A very small minority of laptops allow their graphic cards to be updated.

    Whoa, I never said that. :) You can play games, but not necessarily the newest and greatest at high settings.

    I'm not to well up on the whole graphics card area, I am sure some of the lads can give you advice on what exactly the Radeon® Xpress 1150 HyperMemory card can handle. In the mean time, Google that card to get an idea of what it can and can't do.

    That hyper memory card is basically onboard graphics as far as I recall , just given a fancy name. I dont think it would be upto much.
