    I need to know if I can upgrade this model. It has a shared(integrated) graphics card and can't even load most games.

    Specifically, is this model expandable?
    Hopefully, if it is what kind of card should I look for ?

    You cannot upgrade the video card.
    Sorry, you can't do much about it.
    Have you put up the memory usage in the BIOS?
