I really wonder if i can upgrade my Video Card on my laptop or even better if i can add another video card like mine 9600M GT!
I really want it to have better performance on new games!
It has some Express slots tho i don't know what they are for :P

Short and sad answer - nope!

Try reviewing disk drive performance and more ram to squeeze out some more oomph on your comp.

cheers ...

You can try. Many reported some gains. Last time I did it, it fried my notebook

(I might have not doing it right ;-))

cheers ...

I get really impressive boost on Stalker Clear Sky and it made if fully playable from not playable at all at high detais :P But my notbook CPU works on 70-80*C and GPU on 75-85*C... I guess that ain't good temperature for it ?
