I have a Toshiba notebook (model 430 CDT Satellite Pro.

a) Where do I get a Mpeg card and a video card compatible with my notebook?

b) How much will they cost?

Thanks and regards.

You can buy a MPEG PC card but it goes for about 80.00(US). Many places like CDW.com, Computability.com, Egghead.com. A better alternative might be to use software. If you machine is a P75+ then you can use an MPEG-2 Decoder to play back the Mpeg-1 streams, course that goes for $200.00+(US). My opinion is usually to avoid add-ins unless the machine is real old. MPEG Decoder cards do not work on Win NT, Dos, or Windows 3.1 just Win 95/98.
