Question

i heard there is a device that plugs in the back that acts like a video card so you can play games on a laptop that cannot have a video card inserted

Answer 1

no .. they do make external videocards but theyre not very fast and wont increase ur ability to play hi-end games ..

Answer 2

You can find out what the model number of the card is by checking in Device Manager, if you are on a Windows computer: Device Manager provides you with information about how the hardware on your computer is installed and configured, and how the hardware interacts with your computer's programs. With Device Manager, you can update the device drivers for hardware installed on your computer, modify hardware settings, and troubleshoot problems. Open Device Manager. Notes To open Device Manager, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click System. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager. For information about using Device Manager, on the Action then look for sound, video and game controllers, then check out the properties

Answer 3

Yes, there is.

But only if you have one of the newer laptops with an ExpressCard slot. Its like a PCMCIA slot but much faster.

Check your model number and see if you have it.

The product is Asus XG, it has a GeForce 7900 in it. But its probably expensive.
