    Is it possible to upgrade the video card on an IBM ThinkPad Docking Station 62P4551 to a GeForce 9500 GT?

    Does the Lenovo docking station even have an external video card in it? I think the docking station is just a glorified port replicator.

    The docking station is just an extension of the laptop. It uses the laptop's GPU, which cannot be upgraded.
