    does this series of noteboook have an MMX slot? in other words, can you upgrade the video card?

    also, they released an FX with a quad core, does this mean my motherboard supports quad core, or do they use a different one for that model?

    1. Unless you have the skill you remove a soldered GPU, no it's not.

    2. As soon as someone is able to flash the 7808u bios, and do a mod on the heatsink, yes.

    its kind of hard to believe that they would solder such a high-end video card to the motherboard, the mmx slot would make more sense.

    but alright, i'm not taking this apart to find out.
