I got a E530 Laptop, with a crapy HD 4000, I try to play WCIII on the internet and it's so lagy

at the moment is it 8Gb DDr3 and a 7200rpm HDD. Can I put in a Videocard to make it better on gameing? Edit: or can a SSD make anything fore the game?

Welcome to thinkpads.com Joppe!

No...can't put a video card in it. An SSD won't improve graphics performance.
If you want/need a gaming rig...you just need to build a gaming rig (desktop machine), then you can swap graphics adapters to your hearts content.

Thanx for the Welcome sir

Oh I see, then I'll just play on LOW settings.

Yes...that is the best course when current hardware will have to do.

I have read somewhere you can buy a mini PCI-e to PCI-e X16 adapter (that uses an HDMI cable to extend the signal) but this seems expensive and, in my opinion, stupid.
