    Hi Skidilydidily, you should check out the Acer MXM thread here; it's got the info you're looking for.
    The GPU can be upgraded, but the Radeon HD 4650 is a solid card to begin with; maybe the second-fastest MXM-II card released by Acer.
    The fastest would be a GeForce 9600M GT 512MB GDDR3. You'll just have to decide whether the speed boost is sufficient to justify the purchase.
