Satellite Pro L40 - which video card

The missus is playing Broken Sword iii and it keeps crashing an hour and 40 minutes in. The game recommends a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 or equivalent - I suspect the lack of any video card is what's causing the problem.

Is the recommended card the right one or is there one more suitable to laptops and this one in particular.

Cheers
Boarder

Hi

You can not exchange the graphic card!!!

The card is fixed/soldered on the mainboard and can’t be exchanged. So if you want to play this game you need another computer but upgrading the graphic card is not possible on notebooks due the small construction.

This is also interesting for you: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

Graphic card cannot be upgraded.
What is with overheating?
If you can play almost two hours I presume graphic card can handle with this game.

To be honest L40 is not gaming notebook and you cannot expect fabulous graphic card performance.
