    Hey guys, I was looking to upgrade the cpu in my 5542g to an m640 and was wondering if anyone had any experience with this machine, If not maybe just a little help on what to watch for with the graphics card when dismantling as this is the first cpu ugrade I would be doing with one that has a graphics card. It says it's an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 which after looking up uses either an mxm-ii or mxm-a connector, I just installed a ssd so got a chance to look around to see if I could notice one in the very limited space of the bottom cover but could not. So if anyone can shine a little light on either your help would be greatly appreciated.
