If you had a starting point from a desktop PC, you would first need a replacement CPU for that Celeron, if your mainboard would handle a C2D, plus a far more modern add-on GPU, however, a laptop as old as yours is past worrying about Your DxDiag makes no reference at all to any real video card, only to an Intel integrated video chip; laptops do not allow the upgrade of either a CPU or a GPU. They are both fixed in place when delivered.
