Changable Graphic Card Or Not

Dear CF,
I bought a laptop about 6 months ago and decided to go for one that had a dedicated graphics card as intergrated where suppose to be terrible and unchangable. Here is what it was the graphics card was suppose to be according to the specs listed Dedicated ATI Radeon HD 4330 graphics card with 256MB memory.

All was fine then I recently decided to check my graphics card as I planned to purchase a better spec one.
I was then greeted with this in dxdiag tab display

Name: AMD M880G with ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 4200
Chip Type: ATI Display Adapater (0x9712)
Dac Type: Internal DAC (400mhz)
Approx Total Memory: 1916mb


Now the question is this have i been done over and this is an intergrated graphics card or am i just over thinking because the DAC TyPe {no idea what this is} says internal? Also if it is not an intergrated will it be easy anoth to change for another.

It is an onboard (integrated) chipset, and even if it wasn't, laptops rarely have upgradeable components besides the ram and HDD. Some do have the ability to be upgraded, but it appears more don't than do.
 
Welcome to the forums! :)

Only some very high end, low-volume laptops have the ability to upgrade the graphics chip. So no, you can't, upgrade that.
