No. As far as I understand, the video in laptops in integrated, as in the video chip is soldered onto the motherboard in the laptop. The only way you could change it would be to solder in the chip yourself, but you'd have to have an exact match in the pin layout, and be an expert at soldering. And then there's the whole "voiding-your-warranty" schpiel, a unique hell in itself.
