    My CPU is a real bottleneck for me. Is there a way I can upgrade my cpu? Know that i'm not that computer advanced when it comes to b replacing parts. Would there be a place where I could take it to upgrade my cpu? Thanks!

    Oh yes, definitely!
    I already did so for my system, and it's really given it a much-needed boost.
    Look for a T8300 or T9300 - those really are the sweet spot for price vs. performance.
    T7700 and T7800 aren't that bad either, if you can find 'em cheaper.

    Oh, and remember to replace the thermal compound on the CPU and the GPU core when you're done.

    I checked with Acer, and they said it won't. Just as long as you keep the original part and reinstall it if you need service.

    The 6920G has no Hybrid SLI. The 9500M is a combination of a 9400M and a 9200M GS, and is only available in the Dell SXPS 1340. You are using a 9500M GS which is one card.

    I think it's supposed to be: 9200M + 9400M gives 9500M "level" performance. It doesn't give you a physical 9500M, just similar performance as if you had that card.
