    i'm waiting for a new e1705 with the nvidia 7900 gs, and the 2ghz core duo; how upgradeable is this? is it easy to change processors? how about graphic cards? thanks.

    The processor is difficult but not impossible -necessary when you upgrade to core 2, RAM & HD are very easy to change. Normally the GPU is impossible to change unless its MXM but I have heard that the GPU in dell machines can be changed.

    Just so you know, if you swap the CPUs you won't have a warranty.
