No you can not. What you can do, at least here in the US, is look in the paper for any good store deals. Sometimes you can buy a laptop with a better video card. But if you buy another laptop. Get one that is upgradeable. Example, it may come with 1 Gb of memory but you can put in 2Gb later. Or you can put in a bigger HD from 30 Gb to say 100 Gb when money is not a factor. And even one that you can update the video card. Some laptops are a one shot deal. You get what you pay for and can not upgrade.

Laptop hardware is typically not upgradable. Parts are usually "built-in" or permanent ly attached. You two best options are to
1) get the most out of the one you have (get the best drivers for the device and install as much memory in the laptop as you can afford)
2) sell the laptop and buy a new(er) one with the hotter video card.

I have a HP Pavilion zd8227, and have tried to see if the x600 can be changed, and believe me, it can't.
The graphics is a chipset, not a card, so is securely built-in to the motherboard.
I upgraded my ram, which helped a bit.
:D

I don't know the answer to that. BUT! I think the safest way would be to bring it to a shop and ask. If the shop owner says yes test it out!. Installing the hardware and software whould take less than 10 mins

You can't upgrade the gfx card in a laptop so no. Desktop gfx cards can be upgraded easily enough but laptop components can't be.

i doubt it .. and even if u could it would be really expensive and u would have to send it in ... and the gains u would get out of it would probably be minimal .. only modular laptop graphics are upgradable and very few are, most are integrated with shared memory ...
