In nearly all portable PC's, be they tablet PC, or laptops, you will find that most of the cards are "integrated" into the motherboard. Basically the video card and some other devices (depends on the manufacturer) are part of the motherboard, and to my knowlage there are no "after market" motherboards for laptops/tablets with your choice of device.
If I ever get to where I want to see all the eye candy, I'll rebuild my home desktop machine. If memory serves I have a 3D Prophet video card in there with 256 meg of RAM on it. It's an older card by today's standards, but at the time I purchased it, it was THE only card on the market with 256 meg of video RAM. I even had people tell me "no way you need that much RAM on a video card". It's the same kind of people that say stuff like "40 gig hard drive!, you'll NEVER fill all that up!"
I'm in the Nav Map and Periscope screens the most anyway durring play, I don't use the outside views (including bridge) much due to the graphics slow down, but I've found that I really don't like the bridge view that much anyway, you can get the same SA (situational awareness) using the Binoculars or Periscope.
About the only time I have real problems is using FLAK or Deck gun, but I found that if you zoom in on the main view to the little targeting view, it runs fine.
I did find an updated Video Card driver on the Intel site, as well as a new BIOS update for the tc4200. I've installed them, but won't be able to test the game till later.
