there is not going to be external graphics cards for laptops, if you want to play high spec graphical games on a laptop you need a much more powerful laptop, that takes pci-x graphics cards..
since how on earth would a external graphics card connect to a laptop.
since the high spec laptops have a card internal that can be upgraded like alienware laptops have these cards owned now by dell.

As above, this probably wont be available, as the graphics card uses the highest possible data bandwidth from itself to the rest of the machine internally.
Currently, methods of attaching external devices to your laptop (such as USB2, firewire (etc) and all others) run at ALOT slower speeds in comparison, so you wouldnt benifit at all even if they were developed - it would create whats know as a "bottle neck" of data.... sorry dude - get a tower PC if you want to play games.

Sorry you have no chance of upgrading the graphics in a laptop, they are not designed for that. It's the case of what you buy is what you've got.

Whilst they do exist - see http://www.digitaltigers.com/sidecar.shtml
They will not do want you want and the cost is likely to be more than replacing the laptop with a more useful card onboard
