    I have the Nvidia GeForce 240M GPU. I want to upgrade. Can I just do a chipset upgrade without having to replace the whole board? So what I am asking is, are there upgrades within the Nvidia line that I can just pop in a better chipset that would be compatible with the existing 240M board. If possible, does anyone recommend an upgrade model?

    I have an Acer laptop with an I7 Q720 processor running Win7. Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks for the replies. Looks like the best option for me is to overclock the 240m.
