according to the above link it has a pci express slot...it doesnt say that the slot isnt available, the downside to upgrading is 1 the card has to be low profile, and 2, the power supply has to be big enough to support the card, i did a little looking and the 8400 gs from nvidia would be a good option for an upgrade you can purchase them for around 40 dollars online, if you are looking for something bigger than that, check out the MSI N430GT-MD1GD3/LP GeForce GT 430 Graphics Card - PCI Express 2.0 x16 - 1 GB DDR3 SDRAM - N430GT-MD1GD3/OC/LP they are around 80 dollars, and it is also a low profile graphics accelerator. I hope this helps!
