To get dedicated graphics on a laptop, I do not think you can. Your motherboard likely does not support a dedicated graphics chip (chip, not cards like desktops. Looks like a CPU) unless it came with one. I have yet to find a place to buy dedicated graphics for laptops, and a dedicated graphics card would not fit.
