Upgrading a Laptop

[Squirlenutz]

I'm recieving my dad's old sony laptop. Just wondering if there's anyway i can send it back to sony and maybe get it upgraded. Basically just wanna upgrade the vid card in it, but don't know if thats even possible. So just want your insight about it.

There aren't really any replaceable cards in the box, per se. All the components are soldered. Sometimes a processor module can be replaced, but at a cost more than the unit is worth.

I don't know about sony, but some companys (dell started in 2000) have upgradable video cards. I upgraded my Dell's video card from a geforce 2 32mb to a 9000m 64mb
