Hmmm SIS actual is worst VGA in notebooks but there is one variant. You can buy VGA on PCMCIA. I saw GeForce 2 MX some years ago so maybe they continued line of PCMCIA VGAs.
EDIT: Forgot to say it will be much more expensive - not payable. It is better to buy new notebook than upgrade old.

| The PCMCIA VGA cards were completely software driven (e.g. must PCMCIA and card drivers before it would work) and performed terrible. I'm not sure any of them would be an upgrade. |
