    It seems that x600 can't run the newer games on medium high anymore, is the video card upgradable on the MX7515?

    "Anymore," you say? So at once, you could? I would scan for spyware and viruses. Shut some background programs off. If that and a reformat fails, you may have a hardware problem (which I very highly doubt).
    Also, the 4200RPM drive is a bottleneck when it comes to gaming. To get the best performance out of the machine, upgrade the ram and harddrive.

    I have a 5200RPM HD and there's nothing wrong with other hardware. The only thing lacking is the video card cause I can't get higher FPS for the new game with medium to high settings.

    I think when he said "anymore" he means newer games in relation to the now older games which used to be the newer games. Ie... the X600 doesn't keep up like it used to.
