Dude,Dude,Dude.....

Obviously you are new.....
Won't go into details But everything is integrated on the motherboard except the modem,
Cpu, Ram are the only things that can be easily changed.
One would have to extensively re-engineer the Motherboard to support your graphics chips...

Check out E-Bay....You'll find out the price of a known working laptop mother-board, with a faster CPU than the I-Opener, is expensive....probably $200 or more.

Next you'll have the near-impossible task of fitting it into the I-Opener case, rigging up a power supply, then making a controller for the screen. I think if you add up all the problems you're likely to have, you'll figure out this is a project costly and very difficult.

Easiest solution....accept the I-Opener for what it is, do the mods already tried and proven to work, buy a newer laptop for your gaming.
