    Knowing that you can upgrade the graphic card + ram for m1730, but I wonder if there is any possibility for you to upgrade the processor for m1730 or not. Right now, I'm having intel 9500, but hope that I can move to extreme 9000.
    Thanks for helping me!

    The M1730's chipset will work with the X9000 processor. This is the highest-level processor that will work. Although I'm not sure it will be worth the money if you already have the T9500; it's an excellent processor to begin with.
