Notebook Video Upgrade

My first post on this site so go easy on me ;)

I recently bought an Aleinware notebook for my travels, mostly for gaming and movie viewing, but as I've seen the standard Intel video card for my notebook is not supported by quite a few games (BF2 in particular) and I wish to upgrade it, I know notebook upgrades are difficult (and sometimes impossible), but I am willing to try. Any suggestions?

Current Specs:

Video: Intel Extreme Graphics 2 M
CPU: 2.0GHz Intel
HD: 60Gig
RAM: 512 stick, not sure brand name.

Nope, the supplied Intel chipset is onboard, and cannot be removed. Adding a new card is not possible (well, nothing decent anyway). I'm afraid you're stuck with it. If you want to play games, buy a decent desktop system. Laptops are not gaming machines!
