    hello, I'm Italian sorry for my English. I joined this forum to ask: can I change the video card to my laptop? the model I have is the one with the T9400 processor and the 9600GT video card.
    if it were possible, what video card do you recommend to replace the 9600GT? it is convenient to do ?
    ty :D

    Hello jino, and welcome to the forums!
    It is possible to change your video card - it uses a removable card format called MXM. More information can be found here in the Acer MXM thread.

    The GeForce 9600M GT is one of the best cards to have in your machine; the only other option would be a "sidegrade" to an ATi Radeon HD 4650 or 4670, which would be roughly as fast as your current card.
