    Alright, few questions. I'm upgrading my GPU from a 7900GTX to a FX2500 (same card, different name) and i want to do some other things at the same time:

    1) Will a M90 palmrest work on a M1710? i can't find any new M1710 palmrests. An answer to this question or a link to palmrests would be awesome.
    2) My CPU is a 1.83GHz T2400 (i believe). If i upgrade to a better CPU would it be worth it?
    3) Any place where i can find a new headphone jack? I only get sound out of one side of all headphones i use.

    Looked at them. They are selling a new 7900GTX for $460... way to much to just invest in this laptop.


    I guess i'll have to call them for prices.
