how to upgrade your notebook?

im wondering if you could upgrade your notebook with any parts you wanted. im thinking about getting call of duty 2 and play it on the alienware sentia m3200 thin and light series. im afraid the graphics cards wont be able to handle that, so i went to nvidia.com and i found a couple graphics cards specifically made for thin and light notebooks. can anyone help? im really confused right now.

BTW, can anyone give me a couple links to websites (in the US) that has notebook upgrades? i thinking graphics cards, RAM, memory, PC cards, etc... the works.

Unfortunately, right now you can't upgrade most notebook graphics cards, with a few exceptions; those Nvidia graphics cards can only be had if they came with the original system. You can upgrade the RAM and the hard drive, but those won't really help gaming much.

You could eBay it, taking a loss on it, then use the proceeds from the sale to make a down payment on what you wanted to buy in the first place.
