    In general there is no such thing as an upgradeable gfx card for a laptop.

    In some high end, expensive laptops there sometimes is. But this is very rare.

    So no new gfx card for you monkey boy! :-)

    In general with laptops you can change the amount of ram and put in a bigger harddrive. Thats it usually.

    If you want better gfx in a laptop, you would need to buy a more expensive laptop with a better built in gfx card than you have.
