Due to the way laptops are assembled, it's virtually impossible to repacle the graphics cards.. also, LCD screens work differently to the CRT-based counterparts and so can't operate at any resolution over than the native without sufficient loss in quality.. so even if you had the vast technical expertise necessary to undertake such an extreme overhaul, you'd have to replace the LCD as well.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. 🙁

Better off buying a new MBP after the update :]

The video card in the 12" powerbook already supports resolutions over 1024x768. The problem is that the LCD screen is only 1024x768.

So really, you want a replacement 12" powerbook LCD screen, with a higher resolution. While this is more feasible than a video card replacement, I've never heard of it being done.
