Solution
The nvs5200m was an option on that model but switching to it would require replacing the motherboard for one with a 5200m on it and would not be worth the cost imho.

I removed the svc tag and express service code from your post as they can be used for nefarious purposes.

Thank you very much for the info, I have one more question...is there any other way to make gaming better? Like upping the dedicated video memory, instead of having it at 64mb, it says total graphics memory is 1.5gb, am I using that? Or am I using the dedicated?
