    lets say I have an m1730 with dual 8700m gt and want to upgrade to 8800m gtx sli. Do I just send my laptop to dell and they just switch the cards while sending me a bill in the mail, or do i do something online? How does this work?

    From what I was told by my rep is there will be a upgrade program coming out in the near furture that will be sent to use via email that we used when we purchased the systems.
    You can then purchase the card and install yourself or purchase and have a tech come install it for you. Just what I was told so.....

    That sounds very awesome. I am eagerly awaiting the 9600m gt and hoping it will work on my 1520.
