Answer 1

you can't upgrade your video card in your laptop

it is built into the motherboard

Answer 2

"ViDock 4 is designed for those higher performance graphics cards that require up to 150W of power and use a 6 pin power connector to supplement the power supplied by the PCI Express connector. It will accommodate cards that are up to 316mm long, which is the PCI Express “full length” specification."

so there you got how much power a card may use and how long it may be.

now for example a AMD radeon HD 6770 (a renamed 5770) should work rather well, it shouldnt use more then around 100 watts as moste and give you a rather good performace as well, it ofc is not the fastest or anything like that but it is enough to play the games you listed! (bad company 2 may be a bit hard thu, my 4890 which performace slightly better had a hard time with that and i ended up running at around medium or so for a good stable framerate)

as for source games its not any problem at all! it will eat them up

it shouldnt be any problems with mw2,3 and black ops either. but i cannot say for sure



this is ofc, based on how it performace normaly. i have no idea if you will get 100% of the performace of a card when using vidock or similar (i remember on hardforums someone said he got around 60% i think of the performace of his 5850 when running it in a similar fasion. but ofc his "dock" or what to call it was home built but still used express card slot in his laptop)

and ofc make sure you got a express card slot

Answer 3
