Most of the time the GFX card is on the motherboard in a laptop so I'd think not.

I think some companies are planning laptop designs which can though, but not yet.

thanks for your help.

sorry for asking so many questions but i have been looking at a new laptop and these are the specs:

BASE Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo Processor T7250 (2.00 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)
OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium - English
HARDWARE SUPPORT Base Warranty - 1 Year XPS Premium Hardware Support (incl. Gaming and On-Site Support)

LCD 13.3" UltraSharpTM WXGA (1280x800) CCFL Display (220nits) with TrueLifeTM

MEMORY 2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024]
HARD DRIVE 160GB (7200RPM) SATA Hard Drive
GRAPHICS CARD 128MB nVidia® GeForce® 8400M GS
OPTICAL DRIVE Fixed 8x DVD+/-RW Slim Slot Load Drive, including SW

i know that this probably wont be able to run crysis but is it a decent notebook and will it be able to run other newish games that are oput for the pc.

Laptops are not built for gaming and unless you spend a small fortune on one, they are not going to run todays games at high settings, even 3k laptops won't come close to a desktop pc for performance.

might make more sense to build a cheap ish gaming rig and keep your current laptop
