    Just wondering if anyone knows off hand before I do some research.

    I assume the PCI express X1400 can be replaced in the future with a better card?
    Also the CPU, is it a socket and not integrated into the motherboard like old notebooks? I know the Core2 Duos are coming out soon and maybe I can plan for an upgrade.

    Any help on this topic would be appreciated.

    gpu = upgrade only if dell releases a new card for the specific model line
    cpu = technically user upgradeable, but won't be covered under warranty
