I want to replace it with a Nvidia video card...And I don't know what to do.
Video as well as the cpu on consumer class notebooks is NOT upgradeable. That's why gamers usually use desktops. When you buy a notebook, you sacrifice reliability, ease of repair, upgradability and power in exchange for portability.
You bought a budget workhorse computer. As such the toshiba will serve you VERY well. They have excellent reliabiility. You did not buy a gaming computer. As you know, even a well configured $550 desktop can be used for gaming, but you'd need to spend more than double that to get a gaming notebook.
You don't have a video card in your system. ATI radeon express 200 is an integrated and uses shared system ramm not it's own gpu and vramm. Nvidia is a good company but there is no major advantage over ati. It's just like coke vs pepsi.
