Uh, what are your specs again? You're giving conflicting information.

Anyway, the video card is a soldered unit on the logic board. You cannot upgrade the video card on an Apple laptop.

Hi,

Yep. Agree with Yellow. Laptops are NOT designed to be expanded in that function. Now, you might find a PCMCIA video output card for various devices, but as a rule, laptops are closed designs.
