I dont have a job right now so I have been playing tons of Guild Wars. Deciding weather to preorder 2 or not. I know when I get a job and stuff at a later date that will make me never want to go outside or practice guitar.

Icewind Dale 2. Yes, really.
My gtx580 died and it'll take like 3 weeks before I get a new one... but ID2 is amazingly fun :D

Yac do you know of any relatively cheap laptop graphics cards that are good. I have a solid laptop but the Graphics cards isnt up to snuff and I have no clue what to buy.

How about a price range instead of the arbitrary "relatively cheap".

No idea mate, I don't consider a laptop a proper gaming computer (but then again, I am occasionally wrong :P), and thus am totally ignorant when it comes to this topic.
What you should do though is establish how much you can spend on it, compare prices from several stores, read at least a couple of reviews of each card (as many are sponsored and not quite objective ;)) and finally, compare the score they're getting in something like 3dMark 2011 - so you have a solid reference point, if nothing more.
Or if you're tech savvy enough, do something like this guy: How to make an external laptop graphics adaptor | News | TechRadar

Under 100 bucks.

I'm no expert, but this list is 100% accurate:

Graphics Card Hierarchy Chart : Best Graphics Cards For The Money: April 2012

Your best bet is to buy the best "Mobile:" card on this list used. For example, my GPU is a used Radeon 5770 (110-140 new, I got it for ~65 shipped). Though there is bound to be a lot less used mobile cards around.
