RAM upgrade is possible but you cant upgrade notebook internal graphics modules :(

Incase of Desktops we see external graphics cards getting connected via plug and ply PCIe / AGP slots, where as to save space in notebook graphics cards are not like plug and play..

The chip / memory of the actual GPU is soldered in to the motherboard like an onboard grfx, hence you cant detach it to insert another powerful card :cry:
