Notebooks don't have interchangeable graphics cards like desktops do, so unless she wants to buy a new notebook, she's stuck with the graphics card she has.

Yep, would be cheaper for her to get another card for the desktop. Just make sure the processor is up to par with the game. You can buy a wicked video card, but if your processor isn't up to the min req, you won't see the big difference your looking for.

For desktops, buy accordingly. No use in buying a top of the line card if it's the fastest part in your computer. Try to buy something in the same range of the mobo, ram and processor.

For laptops, your pretty much stuck with what you've got. Only the high end laptops give you the option to upgrade the video card. And that's not always a fact. Some notebooks can only use one or two different cards. My XPS is pretty much stuck with the 7950GTX or GS. It wont support any of the 8000 series.
