This info on the chipset from Intel's website seems to say otherwise...
I'm pretty sure the other 5633Wlmi's have the same chipset; 945GM with both the gma950 and a discrete graphics board, with the gma950 being used when on battery etc. so i don't see why there wouln't be a socket. guess the only way to be sure is to open my laptop up though...
