asked on

Can I add a PCMCIA video card to support Open GL on Toshiba?

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop.  It does not support Open GL (and the games people play).

Can I add a PCMCIA video card and use that instead of my default video board in the Toshiba?

Thanks, dogztar.  That's what I thought.  Just wanted to get an opinion here to verify.  It's not my laptop, and I don't play computer games, but somebody I work with asked me this question and I wanted to get an answer for him.

Thanks again.
Glad I could help!  Tell your coworker next time that they should look for a laptop with built-in 3D capability.  Most laptops have some sort of 3D ability (with ATI Rage video chip) but its pretty lacking.  Several vendors make laptops with the nVidia GeForce2Go chip that is plenty fast for laptop 3D gaming.
