    Hi guys ...

    Long long time ago, I came here and you told me to buy a Clevo M570U. Thanks for that, great machine.. happy for many many years!

    Now times have changed. 80 giga is nothing and the old GeForce Go 7950 GTX is starting to fail ...
    We need to upgrade !! But to WHAT?

    Once again this n00b comes here to ask. What is the best video card that would fit this old (but great) machine?

    Is it easy to replace it? And since you know this big monster here, should I (could I ...) replace the hard drive for something bigger?

    Last, is it a good idea ?

    Let me know if you need any other information. Looking forward to your feedback!

    Thanks, SanGiovani

    For the OP, I'd suggest reporting your own post and asking it to be moved to the Clevo/Sager subforum; the people there should be more familiar with your model and know what your upgrade limits are. I want to say that you might be able to go up to a MXM 2.1 GTX 260M, but I may be overestimating things (may be thinking of a -RU).
