    Hi there,
    I got a quick question about my laptop Acer Aspire 7520G.

    Current GPU - Nvidia Geforce 8600M GS 512mb

    And the question is .. is it possible for me to upgrade the graphic card to something like 9600M GS/GT? or anything along those lines?

    thanks for your time

    I think it should. Both are MXM-II type. But 3650 is better.

    9600M GT will work but really you won't see much improvement... u will play games better... but if u really want great performance , get a new laptop...
