    Doesn't it have a GMA 950? That's integrated and non-upgradeable.

    Processor can most likely go up to the T7600, any SATA HDD will work. Usually a better idea to just buy a new laptop.

    160gb HDD.
    mobile core 2 duo t5500
    came with 1gb ram .. but replaces it with 1gb x 2 of pc5300 ram
    mobo is the acer g****vine i945pm chipset
    running win xp media center


    Also.. my BIOS is
    V2.90 date - 09/20/2006

    IS there an update.. is it worth it...?

    --------------------------

    As for buying a new laptop, cant do that..
    as for my question.. how can i make this better....
    --- people are running into trouble with 4gb ram.. so i just got 2gb....

    AS FOR THE GPU.. CAN I CHANGE IT?


    another thing i dont get tha laptop came with this stupid sticker that says its Intel Centrino Duo..when i CPU-Z it it says it s a intel core 2 duo.. is that what it is?

    also the sticker says it has a 256 mb gpu .. but when i check it , it say 512mb..

    GPU is not upgradeable. Centrino is a chipset. Core 2 Duo is a processor.
