    It has Radeon 9700 64mb
    I'd like something better or atleast with more video memory.
    Is it possible ?

    No, the graphics are not modular. Check out the Dell XPS or Sager 9860, 7680 (?) for modular, but those all run in excess or 9 pounds.

    Nope, although the A series will get bumped to an 128 MB X600 as soon as Sonoma/Alviso arrives, but if you already own one you are stuck.
