As it is atm my graphic card is inefficent for what i need on my laptop(laggy with raids and such).
I currently have a Sony Viao and was wondering if anyone can reccommend a graphic card or at least able to tell me if i ahve the slots/capability of adding a graphic card.
VGN-NS130D is the model i currently have and its Canadian. Any advice, help be appreciated. Runnin at 3GB of ram also which is good enough compared to main Comp that had 2GB. and that i have a faster duo core on laptop, just lack the graphics i thk.
Thx all.

That model laptop does not support add-in dedicated graphics cards.
That leaves two options:
(a) A docking station with ability to house independent graphics card (would usually require a separate monitor too, not always - do not know if sony supports this)
(b) An "external" video card - I've heard of these, not sure how well they would work, but there was a USB to PCI Express graphics adapter out there some time ago. Note: Most of these are just for 2d work, and most of them performance will be the same if not worse than your existing stuff.
