Video card

I recently purchased a radeon 128mb graphics card for my desktop pc. I
thought i had a slot for it but apparently my micron mellenia(old) has an
integrated video card(8mb i think) so i don't think i'll be able to use
that radeon card. I also have a Toshiba Satellite Pro laptop with 16mb
video card. But my main concern is getting the 32mb video card
requirement for the World of Warcraft. I'm pretty sure i can't replace my
laptop card(or can i?). Is there any hope of me killing some stinkin orcs
on WOW any time soon or do i need a new PC with better gaming
capabilities? Any help would be mucho appriciato!
Thanks, Jasperdogg

p.s. video cards don't fit in pci card slots!! :)

Grrr. Hate ignorrance. Absolutely hate it.

Why the f*ck did you buy a graphics card without making note of what
slots your motherboard had? Why?

p.s. *PCI* video cards do fit in pci card slots!! :)

It's that time when, if you expect to play more graphics intensive games,
you are going to have to invest in a more modern (faster) computer, I'm
afraid.

The integrated video memory (8mb) in your system is changable. You can
do it from BIOS, try to increase it to 32mb (deduct from you system
memory).
