Sorry Ivan, you probably can't change it. Only a couple models of laptops allow changing the video card (less than 1%) so there's a 99% chance yours cannot be changed.
It's one of the cruel facts of laptops.
But check your mfr specs to see if there are any options.

Only if you're really really good, most don't have upgradeable vid cards. I assemble all my desktops, but I buy my notebooks, too much work even for a tech. Notebooks are NOT for upgrading, buy a desktop if youre concerned about keeping up. Notebooks are for convenience.

Probably not.
There are a few out there that have upgradeable video cards, but they are the high-end gaming and graphic design notebooks that run upwards of $2500us brand new.

Not internally. You see, they solder a lot of the components to the motherboard to avoid failures from being banged around. There are some PCMCIA cards that will work, but they are pricey.

Not really, only very few laptops that has these options, and they are more towards the higher end of the market.
