    How easy is it to upgrade a m15X with a 8700M GT to a better GPU and if it is possible how much would it cost and what GPU can it be upgraded to ?? Thanks for any info. God Bless :)

    you can upgrade to either the 8800M GTX or the Quadro. They are $500 and $600 USD respectively. You can just buy the card and install yourself.

    Is it a ridiculous question to ask if you can upgrade to the 9800? The sizing is probably all wrong, right?

    for now that upgrade is only rumors. the 9800m GT should be the same size as the 8800m GTX since the 9800m GT is basically a rebranded 8800. theres really no difference in performance.
