Hello Ohee:

 

 

In regard to your question, there is no option to upgrade the graphics controller on those chipsets.

 

 

In order to use Intel® HD graphics 3000 or higher, you need to replace the processor for one that has that type of graphics controller, for example to use the Intel® HD graphics 3000 you need a second generation processor and those are not compatible with those chipsets, as you can confirm on the following links:

Any questions, please let me know.
