    Hi,
    I own an Acer Aspire 4736 model with the following cofiguration:

    Processor : Intel® Core™2 Duo processor T6600 (2 MB L2 cache, 2.2 GHz, 800 MHz, 35 W), supporting Intel® 64 architecture

    RAM : 3 GB RAM; Upgradeable to 4 GB

    Video Card : Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset.

    My question is :

    1) Can I upgrade the video card of this laptop or add a better graphic card to it ?

    2) Can I upgrade the processor of this laptop and if yes then up to which extent ?

    3) And finally, is it possible to overclock a laptop and if yes can I go for it ?

    1) ur video card is integrated so you can't upgrade it
    2) you have a socket P processor so you can upgrade it to any of the T9xxx processors if you can have a proper Bios for it ( put in mind you still won't be able to game on this rig even if u put a T9900 because of the integrated intel GPU) so you will only be able to play light games
    3) you can overclock a laptop usually the GPU not the CPU but still it is not worth the try since the GPU is low end anyway

    1. no u cannot.. its integrated.
    2. u can upgrade to T9000 series processors at most.
    3. Not really not going to help.


    on the whole , get a new laptop if u want to play games with a dedicated NVDIA and ATI card.
