    I never have seen a 2gb gt555m, only a 1gb and 3gb.

    All of the people who I've encountered who have an m14x r1 say that the gt555m 1gb vs 3gb isn't really a difference and that only the 3gb version costs more.

    The difference is about 10% in performance. It isn't a lot considering the cost of a new motherboard to replace the GPU.
