    Nope. The Intel GMA 4500MHD your system is equipped with is part of the chipset on the motherboard, and can't be removed or upgraded.
    If you want a better graphics card, try to sell the thing for a model with the ATi Mobility Radeon HD 4330 - they'll be identified with a "G" in their model type.

    I mean, sell the Aspire Timeline 5810TZ to a friend or on eBay for as much as you can to try and recoup your costs, then use the funds from that to purchase a new Aspire Timeline G-model.

    I have the same laptop...Its not a gaming machine, thats for sure. If you wanted one that plays games, you should have gotten something else.

    This model is basically an overgrown netbook IMO. But I'm happy with it! :)
