I own a toshiba A205-S4707 laptop with the intel integrated graphics and would like to know if I could put an add-in graphics card in the open bay at the front of my computer. I'm running Vista 32bit and have 2.5 gb of RAM and a 2.0 centrino dual core processor. I know that open bay is usually for additional hard drives but I'm not very hardware savy with laptops. Thanks.

in most cases you can not add onto laptops in the way of graphics cards, occaionaly CPU, most of the time you can add to your RAM, you can add PCMIE equipment, which goes into the bay usually on the side of your laptop, these can be wireless equipment, give more usb ports, give your laptop E-sata support, and many other things, but as i said earlier most of the time you can not add extra graphics to a laptop.

Yea, as stated above, you can't add in graphics cards to laptops.
