Hi TFP gang,

My employer supplied me with a HP Compaq nc6400. It's a nice machine for the web, but it misses a crucial element - the crappy graphics card (Intel 945 GM Express) doesn't support any games. In fact, Civ 4 is as far as it goes.

I need my healthy dose of gaming during work hours, but I have no idea if you can update the graphic card. Every website seems to be very vaque, bordering on "not really", but maybe you know better. Is it possible to set the machine up with a new vid card? It's a shame - I feel I'm wasting the Centrino Duo 1.83 Ghz processor on web surfing and downloading torrents
