In order to display ANYTHING on a monitor you must have some kind of video circutry in your computer system. Whether it's an actual card that you plug into the motherboard or the circutry is built into the motherboard itself. Most laptops, since they are short on space, have some form of video built into the motherboard. However I have heard of some of the newer laptops that are being built for gamers having some awesome graphics capabilities but I don't think they are in the form of what you would think of as a "video card". In the end as long as you have the capability what does it matter whether it's built into the motherboard or on a card?

Your acer aspire has a nvidia 8400M GS card can you replace this with a nvidia 8600M GT?

Simple answer, No. Laptops in general are made to hold a specific video card model (unlike desktops). There are, however, higher-end gaming laptops that do provide a facility to change and upgrade the video card. But judging by the fact that your laptop came with an 8400M GS, It's highly unlikely that you can change it. Still, ask your manufacturer (Acer) and they'll give you the most definitive answer.
