you can't make them any more powerful.
only thing you can do is buy a proper gaming laptop, like a dell xps M1730 or alienware.
ps2: v7 scph-39001 - independence exploit - hdloader 0.8c - maxtor 300gb hdd
(+[__]%) psp slim ta-085v1: 6.60 PRO B10
wii (powered by bootmii/priiloader): 4.1u - d2x v10beta53-alt (base 56) - configurable usb loader v70r51/devolution r188 - wd scorpio black 7200rpm 320gig w/ ams venus ds2 enclosure
got a whole lot more to list . . .

Indeed, you don't need something as good as an M1730 to play games, but you will need a decent games laptop. However, if you're assuming it isn't powerful enough just because the CD didn't autoplay then I think you need to have a bit of a read-up on PC technology.. :P

Yes, that's a lower-specification integrated graphics chip, and isn't upgradeable.

Generally speaking, desktop PCs are more expensive than consoles to get to play games properly, but they do the job better. Laptops on the other hand are much more expensive than consoles to play games on.

That means you have an integrated intel graphics card with a max. of 355MB memory.
Integrated graphics cards are not good, and have trouble running with most games.
You should have opted for an nVidia card which is an option in the 5920, as it would provide better gaming performance.
Also, I don't think they can be upgraded, as they are most likely soldered to the motherboard
Sorry - I was a little late :D
