Can I use an external graphics card???

Hi all, I have a Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1E3 part number PSKTUE-01C00VEN and was wondering whether anyone knows if I can buy and use an external graphics card to boost the visuals of the Napoleon Total War game? The laptops processor is as follows (game required spec also detailed below) so I think the processors fine, just want to run it on better graphics than lowest setting and haven't got the budget for a new rig. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks all.

The short answer is not easily. The longer answer is yes you can. I found this which is an external graphics card, but I'm not certain if it meets the specs of your game or anything like that, I was simply looking for a solution for an external graphics card for a laptop.

It's not a pretty solution mind you!
