    Hello cgcomeaux,
    What card do have at the moment ?, if it's the one below then i dont think you will be able to upgrade, (unless you are handy with a soldering iron), as it is integrated into the Motherboard.
    Check in device manager and see what is installed.


    Intel® 4500MHD Graphics Accelerator

    The performance is not to bad for a laptop, you could turn down the ingame graphics, not so much eye candy though, at least you know where you are now, still it's a pity, anyway good luck.
