    So I recently bought an MSI gx630. It comes with a 9600m gt, MXM type III, 6-cell battery, AMD processor. I was hoping to upgrade some things in the future... not necessarily now, but some in the near future. In the meantime, I have some technical questions I hope you can help me with...
    What is my best option for upgrading the GPU, and how would I accomplish that?
    Where would I get a 9- or 12-cell battery for this thing? The battery life isn't too amazing IMO.
    I figure I can upgrade the processor... once again, how do I do this? :S

    Any help regarding these questions is highly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Asa
