Most laptops video is on the motherboard, so you're basically talking about replacing the entire board in the laptop. This prospect will probably cost almost, if not more, than just getting a new laptop.

Laptops are not for upgrading, at least not like that!
About the only thing you can upgrade is the memory, hard drive, DVD/CD-ROM, or add a USB/firewire device. The video GPU is usually integrated on the laptop's motherboard. It's not a card that sits in a slot or anything!
Sorry, no video upgrade option here...

Check with the manufacturer's site.
About 95% of the laptops on the market right now have their video card inbedded in the motherboard.
You may be lucky and you may have a laptop that has an upgradeable video card. however, this is not an easy task to do it yourself.

You really can't. You can send it out to have it done in a repair shop, but it's going to cost you a LOT of money. You are better off buying a new laptop with the graphics options you are looking for. Economically, it's just not feasable.
