Ok, I got three questions about my Toshiba Satelitte A45:

First: the integrated video sucks. Can I replace it with a video card? Or would it require a whole new motherboard? If so, is that a reasonable option?

Second:I don't have integrated wireless, but I have a card. I would really like to have it built in, can I add this on? (There is a slot where the built in wireless switch would be, but it's covered)

Third:Is it possible to install a built in t.v. tuner?(I don't want to mess with an external one, because I would only use it on the road.)

Thanks so much.
 
First, no, if its integrated video then you cant add a video card to it.

Second, you can only add a CardBus wireless card, not a PCI. And you canonly have it in the CardBus slot, you cant integrate it.

Third: You can only have one via USB/FireWire/CardBus, there isnt a way to integrate one.
 
you CAN add a new video card, but it requires you to saulder a new one onto the mobo....which is probably not a good idea to do yourself so you can phone around to your computer stores and see if anyone in your area does this

a wireless card is siple to add, you can buy PCMCIA cards all over the place, all kinds with any feature that onboard coards have and then some.

as far as built in TV tuner...that is not possible, but again, it's as easy as plugging in an external one

would strongly reccomend that you do not do this due to the fact that you will void warranty and i think that even if u did this itmay not work, would there be any room for the new card as well
