    Is it possible to upgrade the ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 on the vaio s360? I read somewhere someone saying it was possible to unsolder the current video card and replace it with a better one, ie. ATI Mobility Radeon 9800 with 256MB.. I was also looking into upgrading the CPU and speakers if it's possible.. any info or resources would be appreciated, thanks

    I have never heard people having success replacing the 9700 with 9800 in S series and seriously doubt the possibility of that considering the extra power consumption and heat generated of 9800. CPU is upgradable, www.talkvaio.com has a guide. I have not seen a speaker upgrade report, either.
