It's just a PCI-e connector. I believe it comes with a 7900gs which may, or may not be hot-swappable.

It's not released yet apparantly, And it requires an extra monitor to work, which absolutely sucks. Now that I think of it, it might not be that viable an option..

The link you refer to is exactly what it says it is, Read it boi.

so should i get a knew mother board and then a graphcis card

For the laptop? It's not possible. Laptop manufactures do not allow such upgrades. Laptops are usually upgradeable, except for ram and sometimes GPU.

so theres nothing i can do

Not really, putting aside buying a new laptop, or desktop. If you can wait, I'd keep and eye on that asus XG station, it won't be much of a help on the go, but it will empower your system quite abit.
