You can't do anything to change the graphics/video card that is in a notebook. They are built into the motherboard and there isn't room for one which isn't part of the motherboard. Sorry.
Thought the zv5200 series had a NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go 64MB. Processor is a XP-M 3200+ after all; tried installing the nvidia drivers at nvidia.com? Worth a try =). Don't know much about the performance of pc laptops tho, may be slow ;-)
