Have a toshiba laptop, want to play online games on it, but they are choppy, how do I speed it up?? help?

I would have to ask you what game(s) are you playing? They may be SO video intensive that they need a super high end video card to run smooth,ie; 20 FPS and up. I have not had much luck with on-board video cards, integrated type. I play Joint Operations by Novalogic on my HP dv8000 laptop it came with an ATI 200M express video card and it runs relatively good at 22-40 FPS. I have to use windows task manager to nix a few processes and set the in game settings for good graphics that run fairly fast yet look good. Don't be discouraged, it may just need some tuning. Good luck!
