I have a Toshiba Laptop. and I'm trying to upgrade it so it can handle games such-as BF3 & ArmA2
Here are my specs;
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.20GHz
RAM: 8GB
64bit OS
and my Graphics card just says its a Intel HD Family Graphics.
What do I need to upgrade so it can handle games.
I have Arma 2 installed but I have to play it on "Very Low" quality settings.

What you need is improved graphics but i'm almost certain you wont be able to add a graphics card to your laptop. Very rarely its possible to swap them out but since your laptop has integrated graphics it was probably never designed with the ability to add a mobile GPU.

I've been researching how to upgrade my laptop,
& I came across this external device called the "ViDock"
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Here's a video. and in the comments he also mentions about disabling the computers internal graphics; I don't know if that's relevant to "integrated graphics"
Please reply thank you.
