    Hello,
    Ive got Sony vaio vgn-cs21s/w, thats PM45 chipset, ICH9, T6400 (Core2Duo 2.0Ghz), ExpressCard. Ive checked your tuts and theres possibility to run at least x1 on this machine (TOLUD is C0000000 = 3GB), however, what ive understood, no Optimus (it has sort of dGPU - nvidia 9300M GS). I thought about GTX460 - a lot of reviews recommend it because theres no need to tweak for x1E. But I am afraid the CPU will hold it back. Could you recommend me some setup? Is there some cheap possibility to upgrade CPU? (i cant overclock - cooling in this machine wouldnt suffice, im afraid).

    Thx for your suggestions.
