    I just bought the E1705 and it came with the 7800GO. I was thinking if upgrading to the 7950M GTX (from what I have gathered it is the best GPU upgrade for the E1705, the 8XXX cards will not fit). However I was told that all Nvidia cards suffer from BGA issue and are not worth the money.

    1) What exactly is the BGA issue?

    2) Has anyone here had their e1705 upgraded with the 7950 GTX and not had this BGA issue?
