    I have an Acer Aspire 7520: 1.6GHz AMD Turion 64 x2, 2GB DDR2 667 RAM, 250GB 5400RPM HDD, Nvidia GeForceGo 7000m. I was wondering if I can upgrade the GPU, and what uprgades would be successful.

    I already have most of the upgrades to put into this machine.

    (2x) WD Scorpio Black 500GB 7200rpm HDD
    4GB kit (2x2GB) G-Skill DDR2 667 RAM
    AMD Turion 64 x2 TL-58 1.9GHz (upgrade again later)

    Anyone have any sugestions?

    As far as I can tell from specs and the service guide, there is no option to upgrade the GPU on this machine.

    The 7000M is an integrated GPU, and this machine does not appear to have an MXM slot. The CPU is socketed and can be upgraded, but you will be GPU limited regardless.

    Only option is a new unit. Sorry.
