Sorry Ivan, you probably can't change it. Only a couple models of laptops allow changing the video card (less than 1%) so there's a 99% chance yours cannot be changed.
It's one of the cruel facts of laptops.
But check your mfr specs to see if there are any options.|||Not really, only very few laptops that has these options, and they are more towards the higher end of the market.|||Probably not.
There are a few out there that have upgradeable video cards, but they are the high-end gaming and graphic design notebooks that run upwards of $2500us brand new.|||Not internally. You see, they solder a lot of the components to the motherboard to avoid failures from being banged around. There are some PCMCIA cards that will work, but they are pricey.|||Only if you're really really good, most don't have upgradeable vid cards. I assemble all my desktops, but I buy my notebooks, too much work even for a tech. Notebooks are NOT for upgrading, buy a desktop if youre concerned about keeping up. Notebooks are for convenience.

When I play Wow it runs fine for a while and then my frame per second drop to around 5, is it my video card?
I have an HP Pavilion dv281 nr Notebook, so I know my video card isn't very good. So I can only assume that is the problem, but I want to make absolutely sure before I dish out $200.|||hi damon
notebooks were never designed for gaming so you are spot on..this is why world of warcraft is running so slow...and allthough your graphics adapter is largely to blame it could also be your ram and also your cpu
to be honest mate theres no upgrade path on a laptop when it comes to graphics,,,you cant add a better graphics card like you can in a pc...and allthough there are external graphics cards such as the "asus xg station " ( http://www.tomshardware.com/news/ces-asu… ) which allows notebook owners to run games at decent frame rates,these are quite expensive and are quite hard to find online
so dont worry,theres nothing wrong with your laptop..it just hasent got enough graphics power to run wow....
good luck mate !

Can a laptop with 358mb shared memory video card run a game like oblivion?
I really want to be able to play higher end games on my laptop, but not spend a ton of money on a top notch notebook. I am getting a toshiba tablet, with 358 mb shared memory video card. Will I be able to play games like oblivion?|||No. Not shared memory video card. You need a dedicated one. Here's a list of laptops that can play Oblivion:
http://gamingnotebooks.blogspot.com
There's a huge price range. Choose the one that fits your budget.|||Tablet pcs that do not have discrete graphics card that also typically cannot play Oblivion, games like that can only be played on notebooks that cost around 1000 dollars, if ur still interested for that amount, email me|||No likely to perform to your needs but have a look at these guys.

With a small budget you will get a great gaming machine and they have all sorts of brands.
Good Luck!|||Usually tablets have pretty weak integrated graphics so no.and even a dedicated card would have to be at least an 8600m.
