Shouldn't be too much of a problem, but if you haven't disassembled a laptop before be warned, they can be tricky little buggers. Looking at the card it would appear that it's designed to handle it, though for that money you may want to consider getting a PCMCIA card instead that will give you the acceleration that you're looking for.

My only real caution is that if it takes more than 2 screws in the bottom to get to the existing card and 2 screws to mount it be careful. These things don't like to come apart and are even less inclined to go back together, a map of what went where as you break it down is always a good idea.
