    You best choice is to sell you notebook and get one with the 7800.

    Wow dude that's a going way overboard! There is ALOT of factors you have to keep in mind if upgrading GPUs. Compatibility, overheating, power usage, etc.

    It is NOT recommended to remove it if it is soldered. Well it's almost physically impossible. You can say it's like a tattoo, there is a way to remove it, but it is an extreme delicate procedure. Not worth it.

    If you're GPU is NOT soldered, it is possible. Although keep in mind, all the factors must still be taken into consideration. But even I doubt your graphics card will be upgradeble, almost 99% cannot be upgraded.
