I wanna upgrade my laptop's video card and I was wondering if Nvidea or ATI sells any that are just for laptops?

Nope, with laptops you are usually stuck with what you get

I think it's technically possible, but probably not worth the investment of time and money. Not sure, but I think it was markop2003 who had looked into the subject a bit, you could try PMing him.

That's the downfall with laptops, you can only really upgrade CPU and RAM. Desktops are the way to go for any gaming. If you do find a laptop with a good video card you could of bought the same thing for desktop for half the price.

Yeah, it's just that I travel a lot and I really need the portability.
