    Hi there!
    I bought my Aspire 5520 on the last November.
    It has, as basic config, 2gb Ram, vga NVIDIA GeForce® 7000M, CPU AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core TK-55 - 2GHz

    i was wondering if there is someone out there that knows this model and can tell me if it is possible an upgrade to the video card and/or CPU?
    Specially the vga since it really doesn't seem very good and the worst component (concerning performance) for Vista score system.

    Forgive my english and thank you in advance :)
