Most notebooks, including Toshiba's Satellite, use an onboard VGA solution.

This portion is well hidden at the backside of the notebook motherboard, underneath the FDD.
On the upper side of the notebook motherboard you will find the external 16 MB 64bit SDRAM video memory.

The 32bit SDRAM from Samsung is specified for up to 183MHz and offers quite some leeway for Overclocking. I personally do not expect to see any mobile graphics solution using 64 MB 128bit DDR very soon.
Sorry, NVIDIA, but how could this solution with external memory be smaller than a single chip with embedded memory?
