    Andy, the Radeon HD 4650 1GB DDR2 is currently the best upgrade for an MXM-II notebook, but those are incredibly hard to locate. The Radeon HD 3650 should work, but try to find a 256MB GDDR3 version instead of the 512MB DDR2; it'll be faster.

    It looks like it's got an Acer part number on it (VG.86M06.003), so no vBIOS updating should be required.

    Acer has no money/cannot afford to recall since their laptops are already dirt cheap.
