Upgrading an Integrated card

My Gateway MX6425 laptop was advertised with... "High-performance graphics: Integrated ATI Radeon® X300-based graphics deliver mobile-optimized performance for today’s graphics intensive applications, the latest 3D games and high-quality digital entertainment". On my laptop it says it has Graphics by ATI Radeon Xpress 200M. Are these cards the same or did Circuit City lie?
Now to my real question... I was looking at the ATI Radeon 9250 Graphics Card. It says it has PCI Interface. Does that mean it goes in my PCI slot on my laptop? Or is it even possible to upgrade from an integrated card? Heres the link to the card. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp;jsessionid=ZB1KC4JILIOAFKC4D3JFAFI?skuId=6832779&type=product&productCategoryId=cat01151&id=1093468042109
Thanks for your help
 
THey didnt lie, the cards are the same. If you do have a Pci interface you also have to make sure the video card will fit in your laptop.
 
no, you cannot put that card in your laptop, laptops don't have pci slots. I'm pretty sure it said "PC card/expansion slots" or "PCMCIA" which aren't the same things as PCI.
 
i think you can upgrade some with a special slot but im not that sure, you should wait for others to reply. But i highly doubt you'd be able to upgrade.
