I own a HP DV8315nr that has the ATI Radeon Express 200 m chipset in it. This unit plays guild wars quite well with the settings turned down. If you want a good laptop that will play Guild Wars at very high settings, expect to pay several thousand dollars, and then the unit you get may not play Guild Wars very good.

Only certain laptops have interchangable graphics cards, and even then, your options are limited. There are certain Dell or Alienware models with upgradable graphics, but you're limited to what that manufacturer wants. Standard PCIe or AGP cards do not work in a laptop, and never will.

Hell, the BFG 8800GTX 768MB is nearly the size of a laptop on it's own. The best thing you could do is to check the documentation for your specific laptop to find out if you can upgrade the graphics card on it.
