pa3373u-1mpc Graphics Card Question

Hey I am actually asking this for my dad. He has the Toshiba pa3373u-1mpc notebook, and likes to play games occasionally (Age of empires 3, strategy type games) and I am wondering if there are any options for upgrading the graphics card? I believe he currently has an ATI card, but I don't know what options were available with his computer when he bought it, if that is the highest card available? or if there are other options for him to upgrade? I have a dell xps gen2 and I know I was able to upgrade mine, but I can't find much info about his at all. I don't know if anyone has gotten into modding this model to make different gpus work.

Can anyone help me out? I know im too late for Father's Day, but I figure that if I can find one and get it ordered and in soon enough, I could count it towards his day!

Thanks guys!

As for games, I am a RTS fan and I play Command and conquer+ zero hour, Age of empire 3, dawn of war...

From experience, these games need pretty high spec to run good, even more if you plan on playing online with people. Age of empire 3 is hard on ressources, I have a toshiba m70 Fe5 with a ati x700 (256 megs) + a gig of ram and it play fine, NOT MAX SETTINGS !!! just decent quality. I could boost graphic when I play alone but I mostly play online.

here's a pic running on my system:
