No. Laptop graphics generally are NOT upgradeable.

The NR series is SONY's budget line. Your laptop has GMA X3100 graphics which are integrated into the motherboard & can NOT be upgraded.

If you wanna be able to play games, you're gonna need a better laptop...there's no way around it.
Dell has an XPS m1530 laptop, Core 2 Duo, 4GB DDR2, 250GB HDD, DVDRW, 8600M GT video card, Webcam, Fingerprint Reader, Vista Premium for just $807 (or $774).
