    Does anyone know if the Nvidia 130M can be upgraded? I love everything about the HDX 18 but the video card... running games like crysis is not what I hoped it to be. Was wondering if any high tech users know anything about upgrading the video card on this bad boy?

    Although I have a hdx16, it has the same gpu. I can confirm it runs crysis warhead at high settings no lag.
