Can I know that I can change the Graphic Card of this Laptop without changing the Motherboard?

There is a good chance that that board was actually build by NVidia and OEMed to ACER.  From your specs, I think the whole works is one integrated Mobo.  Laptops are very delicate instruments, and I don't think I would ever have one.  This is one of the reasons.

It will probably be cheaper in the long run for you to live with your laptop and get yourself a desktop (or build your own) with the graphics performance you want.

I want to know that the graphic card is MXMed Module or not.

I know that this thing has PCI Express Chipset 2.0,they say that if a laptop has the chipset,then it would have 30% that it has MXM Graphic Card and oh,it also have HM55 Express Chipset to connect Wifi chip,Graphic cards and others without being soldered to the Mobo.

Call Acer and ask them.. I doubt that you can.. It likely is integrated into the mobo, but sometimes they are on connectors (which usually are proprietary) and therefore not readily "switchable" A very small set of laptops have card connectors(similar to the memory connectors), but it is very rare.

Thank you,

now that i know the graphic card and the mobo is seperated because it has a connector that can pe plugged out from the Express Chipset.Now i can change the graphic card without changing any parts from my laptop,thank you.
