    yeah you are out of luck. you might want to try forcing your card to run an earlier rendering path to inrease perfomance at the cost of visuals. google will help you accomplish this

    But it's not integrated, it's a Geforce Go6150. Why can't he upgrade?

    The Go6150 is integrated and even if it weren't it wouldn't increase the chances of upgrading by much.
