    I have seen the threads concerning upgrading the cpu, ram, hdd, and screen. But I was wondering if its possible to upgrade the gpu as well? Is it only an Nvidia card that can replace it? Certain models? How can I check? I know the 8800gts is a sweet gpu, but looking down the road a few years, it would be nice to be able to replace the gpu to even further future proof this laptop.

    Nope its soldered into the motherboard. gateway might be coming out with a new FX notebook if you are looking for an upgrade.
