Nvidia GTX 260m in Fujitsu Lifebook ah530

Hey few years ago I bought a fujitsu lifebook ah530 with a intel pentium p6200 6gb ddr3 ram and intel® hd graphics. I have recently been looking into upgrading it slightly so i could do some light gaming on the move and I have decided to upgrade to a intel i7-620m  and 8gb ram but I was wondering if I would be able to put a nvidia geforce gtx 260m in it aswell as there is a similar model of the fujitsu lifebook ah530 with a ati mobility radeon hd 550v. Basically can anyone help me by finding out if I would be able to use a nvidia geforce gtx 260m or anyother gpu in my fujitsu lifebook.

Not easily. The GPU in your notebook is soldered to the motherboard, so unless if you replace the entire motherboard and heatsink assembly there really isn't a way to "add" a GPU. Your mohterboard looks like this, except missing the GPU at the top(since yours is integrated into the CPU):

I don't think you can, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that's probably not the same socket, also you can't just add a mobile GPU to a laptop unless you are some kind of engineering god.
