I have an Acer Aspire 6920 with something like a mobile intel graphic media accelerator X3100

I'm really worried that i cant replace it. Anyone know?

Almost positive i cant... but is there any way i can have it done... like if i take it somewhere or w/e?

More than likely, you will not be able to replace it. Laptops are not known for their upgradeability. There are some that can be upgraded, but I don't think yours is one of them. Sorry.

Seeing as it is from a known manufacturer then it is more than likely that you can't. Normally they actually solder the parts onto the board. If it was from one of those customisable companies that simply ship generic cases with requested parts then it is a lot more likely that something could be changed

@ Chilly - No. Until the ASUS XG Station is released or the ViDockPro DasKrabbe linked, can work with integrated Intel Chipsets, you're out of luck.
