External GeForce 8800 for Gateway LT NV97

I am trying to get the ID Game RAGE to work with my Gateway NV79 laptop. I meet all specs but the Video which requires a GeForce 8800 or Radeon HD 4200. Is there a way I can upgrade thi internally or using an external slot?

To get a better video card you'd have to replace the motherboard.

Rob I thought of that too, so I looked at the specs for the Gateway LT NV97 and it doesn't have an express card slot so an external video cards isn't going to be possible.
Hi,
