Ok, so this might be a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway.
Does any one make a good quality gaming graphics card that can just be be plugged into a laptop via a USB port or PCMCIA slot that can be used as an alternate for the poor graphics card that came installed in (motherboard) my laptop?
If not, I think an add-on of this kind would sell like crazy. If someone does not manufacture it, somebody should do it. I think they'd make a fortune.

No and no. USB is not efficient enough to provide great results. There are USB graphic adapters (for multi-monitor setups), but they don't compare to the gaming-level internal cards.
