Moved to PC Chat.

Q1: Yes you can upgrade laptops, though they are significantly harder to take apart than a standard desktop PC. If you've never taken a laptop apart before I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you're confident you can put it all back together again. Also, a decent graphics card for your laptop is going to cost you a bit too I would imagine.

Q2: Well, we can't really say what games will work until you give us more specs. What you've given us isn't particularly relevant, other than the fact we know your graphics card is an Intel GMA 950 with "up to 224MB shared system memory" according to Dell's site.

If you could post what processor you have and how much RAM you have we could get a better idea of how good your system is. Do you know how to find this information?

http://srtest.com is a great site for telling you whether or not you can run certain games.

My IBM Thinkpad T60 is actually pretty good with games, Radeon X1300 mobile vid card.
