    I'm considering buying a Sony FE550g @ circuit city, but I'd really like a notebook w/a sep GPU, not the Intel Media Accellerator. I'm an avid Sony user-- the screens kick a** so it's now just a matter of getting the bst performance out of the unit.

    If I buy the FE550G, can I add on an Nvidia GeForce or some other separate GPU?

    Unfortunately, I'm stuck with making my purhase at Circuit City since I have a gift card that was given as a warranty replacement.

    Thanks!
