EDIT:

Ok Found out that it is an HD2600XT, does anyone know how to mount these cards to my heatsink if the original one was with equipped with some metal backplane? means changing this card in for 7600GO or x1900

It seems that it can be used as an upgrade because it appears to be mxm-2. The reason why there are holes where the mounting screws are is because in the specific laptop that was used it doesnt actually need them. (a specific model that is like my alienware m5500) The screws that you need should already be in your laptop but if they arent your going to have to check E-bay or wholesalers that sell extra screws, or an easier way is to call up your laptop maufacturer. As for the model....i have no idea....i compared it to my old no-longer-in-use ATI mobility radeon x700 and i couldnt really accurately compare the two. ill search further and see if i can figure it out.

Thank you for your reply....

it comes from an big HP Notebook wich was badly damaged in it's screen and that's why i haven't got the screws (as i only bought the card from a friend of mine) they where fixed to the chassi and on my OWN notebook there are no screws as the 7600go and x1900 was atached with backplate but these are glued to the GPU
