with video cards.
currently I run a Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family (X3100 video chip). I need to upgrade it, or switch it out for a Nvidia or Radeon video card.

my computer is a HP Pavilion dv6985se Special Edition Notebook PC.

anyone know of any video card that is compatable? or any way I can upgrade my card? from what I have been told, it has an integraded card, what does this mean?

can anyone help a dummy out?

(by the way, im doing all of this so I can play CoD:WaW and Fallout 3 on my laptop)

It is built into the mainboard. It can't be removed/replaced. There are only a few laptops that have removable video cards. The ones that are removable usually only have 1-2 options. There are usb video cards, but they are not going to be much better, if at all. They would require a monitor too. Sorry to say, but if your laptop won't do it now, it probably won't ever be able to.
