What laptop. Most likely you won't be able to upgrade your laptop unless it's a specialized laptop.

Some you can upgrade the CPU but its really expensive and the bios will limit the selection a lot. Even if you could upgrade this you would be replacing the whole computer other than the flat panel, case and HDD. in other words not a chance.

New thread time!
99% of the time laptops are basically contained packages. You swap out HDD, Ram, and MAYBE the CD drive depending on the brand. But the GPU and even the CPU are normally soldered to the motherboard, bypassing any socket.

I've dismantled a lot of laptops at work, both Dell business laptops and most consumer ones and the GPU/CPU is almost always hard soldered to the motherboard.
