Suggestions you shall have then
I did a little research for you. The x1300 goes in a slot on the motherboard. The only upgrade card for this model is the x1400. It has 128mb actual memory on it. It is possible to upgrade that card. I also checked my old favorite, Ebay, and these sell for about $60 used. Taking apart a notebook is not a project for the feint of heart, but can be done. It is handy to have a camera ready to take pictures along the way to remind you what it used to look like
This is a link to a Dell article on replacing this card

I have only disassembled 2 notebooks before. It was not as bad as I first thought. Just take your time and move slowly. They have very odd connectors and short short short cables. Look at all sides of the piece you are removing to see if it is connected to anything not immediately apparent. I figure it's worth a shot. Better than throwing out an otherwise useable notebook.
