On that laptop yeah its impossible, there are a few laptops that have motherboards with removable graphics card slots but they are only available on laptops with gfx from the card makers intel doesnt make cards just integrated.

2 thirds of the people at intel who are talking say there isnt any at all, its doubtful, just wait till January there will probably be drivers if its possible for aero to run on that laptop, however it is iffy wether it would run, its not a huge loss Aero doesnt really add anything other than the flippy windows. You dont use it that often and you still have alt-tab.

Its impossible, like i said its rare and only ones that have cards, you have an integrated chip and therefore no port to install a new gfx card. Intel dont make any motherboards with that chipset that can have the GPU replaced.

He has onboard intel graphics, you have the version with ATI onboard graphics, ATI are much better and the 200m is fully dx9 compliant and has more power.
