    I own an m5700 and it's just been collecting dust for the past couple of years. Is there much I can do to update it and bring it to today's standards, or would I be better off to just try and sell it? Any and all feedback appreciated, thanks.

    Wow, someone call David Dickinson. You can't upgrade it, nor is it actually worth anything -keep it and buy a new beast is my suggestion.
