I know there are some Acer's that allow you to upgrade your video adapter, but I think most of them are in the aspire and ferarri lines.

Btw I have a pci express slot in the laptop can that be used for a pci express graphics card?

Most laptops that have a PCIExpress video "card" are still soldered to the mainboard, using the PCIExpress Bus. Are you meaning the ExpressCard slot on the side of the unit? If so, there are few items available for that slot as yet (still very new...) and no video cards.
