    The best card is GTX 280m MXM 2.1 type III or HE. You have to be sure its the m570TU not the m570RU. MXM 3.0 is different than III, 3.0 cards will not fit.

    Its not too difficult. You will need a small philips head screwdriver and some thermal paste such as MX-3 to improve the cooling.

    There is probably a guide somewhere in the Clevo/Sager section. There are definitely lots of pictures of the inside of the m570tu.
