No graphic card in my laptop

My laptop doesn't have a graphic card but runs on a chipset from Intel. I searched everywhere if i can put a laptop graphic card on my laptop. What i did find was other people similar to my laptop has a graphic card. I opened my laptop until i could see where i can put my graphic card. I found no Graphic card. I never saw the whole inside of my laptop because if i went in more i might of broke something because i got stuck at a point where i couldn't pull the hand rest off. So i was wondering where and what type of graphic card that fits for my HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop so that it can run on Crysis on high.
Also I'd like some instructions for taking apart an HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop please
(Video of it will be even better)

Instructions for taking apart an HP Pavilion DV600 Laptop - DON'T. Take it to a PC tech. Try it yourself and you won't have a laptop. Promise.

The HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop has an integrated GPU, Usually the nvidia geforce go Series chip, 7400 - 7500 depending on the model. They are an older middle to lower end chip. To get better performance you can add more memory and turn off the eye-candy on your desktop.

There's nothing you can buy for your laptop that will let you do that. Actually, there's nothing you can buy for any laptop to do that. Any laptop that can do it, does so without any upgrades.

Well mike-cow, there is you know. He could install a Core 2 Duo, 3.2 ghz with two
GeForce GTX 280 GPu's. Of course he'll need to overclock the processor, so he'll need some big fans and a CPU cooler, a big PSU, lots of High speed Ram, a bigger laptop case to put it in. Now what's that called, Oh yes, It's called a high end Desktop gaming machine. Now that might play Chrysis on high.

Crysis runs fine on high on a stock HD4870X2 .

But since that's not really buying stuff for the laptop, the point is moot.

I'll take it to a PC tech instead a lot of people make mistakes and i have a greater chance to make a mistake on taking apart my laptop, a "Professional" has a lower chance of making a mistake. I see that other people have the same laptop as mines but my laptop doesn't have a graphics card and they have so I'm gonna ask a PC tech at Circuit city if they are able to add a graphics card with an extra cost.

Re: No graphic card in my laptop

Laptops with integrated graphic chips are non upgradable. Its the cost you pay when buying a laptop. If you want something that you can actually upgrade... buy a desktop.
