The way the motherboards are made, no.

I have done this to one of my CF-30's. I used a external GPU though the express card slot. You just have to use a external screen. I do see this kind of technology coming back. MSI just released a laptop with a dock it plugs into. It's called the GS30. You dock your laptop and then you have a desktop video card on a external screen.

Also older single core thinkpads had the advanced dock. It had a 300w power supply built into the dock and you could put in a full X 16 pci video card. Although you were limited on some choices.
CF-28 MK2,Mk3 / CF-29 Mk3 / CF-30 MK2 / CF-25 Mk1 ATI / CF-19 MK3/Mk3/Mk5 / CF-U1 Mk1,Mk2 / CF-M34 Mk7/Mk3 / CF-17 Mk1 / CF-07
Voodoo Envy M355 / M360 / M515 / M780 / U703 / Voodoo Hexx / Voodoo Idol / Voodoo Rage F1 / Voodoo Rage F1 / Voodoo Rage F1 "signed case" / Voodoo Omen

"CF-19 (Mk5) Intel GMA 4500MHD and Intel HD Graphics 3000"

Wrong. 19 Mk5 only has a HDG3000.

Mk6+ 19 have a HDG4000
