i don't believe you can, the specs show it is an integrated card which means it is build right into the motherboard and can't be changed.

John, there are ways to override your integrated card if your motherboard has the spots for a video card, you can set the priority in the BIOS. Luigi, you're going to have to open up your case and see if your motherboard has slots for other video cards. In case you're not sure what they look like, here's an example. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ECS/PF5/images/slots.jpg

I stand corrected, there is a PCI express x16 slot, so you can get any pci express, i recommend a ATI HD 4000 series.

Luigi, John is correct. With a PCI Express you're pretty much limited to ATI Cards, which are a bit cheaper, unfortunately, to match the preformance of the 9800 you showed me in ACARS, it will be quite a bit more expensive.

I thought the nVidia cards ran FSX better. Has that changed?
