It is possible depending on your laptop. Depending on the type of MB your laptop is equipped with, some will allow a Graphics card upgrade and some have integrated cards which is unchangable.

a look into the manual (system specification) might help a great deal ... or post your model no here.

Why buy a laptop, then turn around and start looking for a way to upgrade the graphics chipset shortly thereafter, not only is it counter-intuitive, it is also a cost ineffective way of doing things even if you have a laptop with a modular graphics chip - IMHO.
You could have saved yourself the trouble and upgraded the graphics chip on the laptop at the time of order.
