    Unfortunatley that is not possible. Your video card is made specifically to fit your notebook, and you can't replace it. Most likely, it is integrated into the motherboard.

    Nope, won't work unless you manually modify it which is not worth it.

    You can, but at the same time, you have to replace the whole laptop...
