    For starters, AGP is a desktop motherboard graphics card slot; you'd never find it on a notebook. Secondly, it was phased out by PCIe years ago.

    Wrong.

    AGP also existed for notebooks aswell. Not the same physical slot as a desktop motherboard of course, but the same interface type and speed.

    Today we have PCI-Express on both desktops and notebooks, the slots on a notebook are totally different from a desktop motherboard, the same stuff with AGP in the past.

    Yes, your card uses the AGP bus to connect. No, there is no physical AGP slot. The chip is soldered onto the motherboard, it's not like you can swap it out or anything like that.

    Yeah, but the OP made it sound like there should be an AGP slot inside his laptop. :rolleyes:

    Dude, 6 people in 2 different threads have all told you that you can't change the integrated card. You Can't Do That. If you want something better, you need to get a new laptop. You're laptop is so old you don't even have an express card slot, so you can't try the external ViDock either.

    Only select laptops have interchangeable dedicated GPU (not integrated) through an MXM slot, and even then your choices are limited and expensive. Integrated is soldered to the motherboard, and now with the Core i series it's integrated into the chip so you absolutely won't be able to change it.
