Dell Xps M1730 upgrades

Hi everyone I have a Dell XPS M1730 and was wanting to know if the laptop can take 16gb or 32gb memory
if yes where can I purchase the exact memory that will fit and work plus what is the best graphics card you can get for this laptop
and where can you gat a internal bluray writer for this laptop fast read and write speeds

 

I think you should just buy a new system because any upgrade will be a waste of money for a system thats over 10 years old. Even cheap modern PCs will have much better performance than your old M1730.

First of all you wont be able to upgrade your ram above 4GBs (2gb DDR2 SODIMM sticks) because its motherboard dont support it. I think some newer models of the M1730 supports up to 8GBs. If you're going upgrade your RAM it must be DDR2 SODIMM otherwise it wont be compatible with your system. The GPU can be upgraded up to 9800GTX SLI (Two to be exact in SLI configuration), If you already have a 8800GTX or 2 8800GTXs in your system then upgrading with a 9800GTX would be pointless as there wont be much of a performance increase between the two GPUs. Overall if you still going to go through the upgrade then ebay is your friend.

Another upgrade you can do is to upgrade your HDD to a SSD.
