I'm afraid you cannot add graphics cards to laptops. The only laptop I know off that allowed a graphics update was the original Dell XPS. You could upgrade from an ATi Mobility 9700 to a 9800 if you wanted to. Other than that, all your graphics options are the ones that you have before you buy the laptop. It would've been better if you had requested for a card at the time of the laptop purchase. But then again, I doubt if IBM offers dedicated graphics cards on its laptops.
