Hi,
No, your machine does not have port to do that. It is for Alienware machines only. Please use the following instructions to find out the model/product of your machine:

You cannot change the video card at all unless you perhaps replace the whole motherboard but even that is not clear until you find the exact model number. If your laptop came with 6 gigs of RAM the maximum memory is likely 8 gigs but again, the devil is in the details and we need the exact model number to be sure of anything.
