MT6821 video card question

Okay guys, this is my first post. I've been lingering around here for a while and need some help. Currently I'm looking into getting a pretty decent laptop to replace my aging desktop and to take to college.
I'm looking into the Gateway MT6821, it's on sale for $949.99 at both Circuit City and Best Buy.

It's got everything I'm looking for, Core 2 Duo, 2GB Ram, 160GB hard drive. But unfortunately, no video card.
Does anybody know, either from experience or somewhere else, if this model is upgradable down the road?
Thanks in advance.

No it's not upgradeable, it's a part the Motherboard and has a Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 , so it cannot be upgraded ,but with 2GB of DDR2 it should work GREAT with any Version of Vista you want to use, The MT6821 seems to be a new notebook model, that ships with Vista, I found this on the Gateway site, if your interested in it's specs: http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/...4127Rsp2.shtml

Shoot, just what I had feared. I just don't think I can live without games for 4 years. A shame because this seems like a pretty powerful notebook sans video card.
Thank you very much! Saved me from going out and spending money on something I wouldn't really enjoy

Ur welcomed, I'm not a gamer, so not sure what it will do in 256MB Hyper Memory mode, I have that in my MX6447, and so far, I just can't find any real use for that fuction, I can tell you this much, it uses the shared memory along with everything else, so I suppose, the 2GB of DDR2 is a Big +, perhaps someone else may know how well it plays games.......... I dunno?
