The only hardware you can move from a laptop to a netbook is the memory (RAM), the harddrive, and possibly the wireless card (if the netbook supports mini-pci.

In most cases, the video card is integrated. That means that it's actually a part of your motherboard. I'm betting also that your motherboard from the notebook will not fit in the casing of the netbook. So to sum it up...switching parts over just doesn't sound feasible. Also, netbooks aren't really used for anything high performance. You're better off spending that extra money on a better notebook.
