Every answer so far has missed a very critical point, you can't add a video card (or upgrade the video card) in a laptop. And no, you can't change the motherboard in a laptop either. With a laptop, hardware wise you are stuck with the motherboard and video card that came with it. Now, you can upgrade the hard drive and memory. Besides, even IF you could add a video card to the laptop, if it shipped with Windows 98, it has to be at least 6 years old, if not more. I know what desktops were like back then and I know in their default configuration they wouldn't have a prayer of playing any modern game and that would not improve with the addition of a video card due to processor and memory limitations. The same is true even more so for your laptop. The answer is to buy a new laptop and I happen to like this one (though I don't know what kind of budget we are talking about here), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16834115246

You might want to totally upgrade your laptop to Windows XP, so that a video card that gets installed will work. I doubt Windows 98 will support certain video cards, and I also doubt someone will want to work on a Win98 laptop. Sorry!

Very hardly ever do you get a workstation that permits addition of a video card (they are typically huge and extreme priced, and are quite used for personal computer alternative). workstation convey card are often for such issues as on the spot playing cards. What you're searching for for is PCI-convey slot. That workstation you've truthfully does not have a PCIe slot.

It will cost you a lot less buying a newer one! Changing the video card is possible (but not the motherboard!!!).
