About 90% of the laptop on the market, the video card is onboard. And even when you can upgrade the video card on a laptop, there is the issue of power supply and heat that you need to worry about.

Oh yes you'll void the warrentee.

Also, you might think your old cards good, but it won't do the new stuff, the new one will, just vcrappy like.

No, you can't swap them.

Thanks for the help!!!!!

So even if I do buy another graphic card that will work with my laptop I would still have to worry about power supply and heat?

Yup, because the laptop is designed to cool off the stock parts, not parts that may cause more heat. You run into the same issue sometimes when updgrading laptop processors too because the extra heat and energy needed for the faster processor.

And as others have said most laptops are integrated, so if you wanted to replace the GPU you would have to replace the entire motherboard because it is integrated.
