Can I change my motherboard?

[BurningDorito]

Hi, what it comes to playing games my laptops motherboard is bottlenecking the system like crazy due to its integrated gpu, so I was hopping you guys could help me with a solution to this.

Specs:
Gm965
Core2extreme x9000
4gb ddr2

I've read about external gpu's but I can figure out if my motherboard supports it.

So what do you think is the best solution?
External graphics card?
New motherboard?
Jesus Christ my laptop sucks?

Thanks

Really not room to work inside a laptop "case", so, that rules out upgrades other than maybe RAM or a new hard disc (or SSD). Changing motherboard, CPU, or GPU isn't really an option.

I'd say for gaming, it's time to move to a desktop, a console, or a new laptop (in that order as most laptops aren't the best for gaming...)
