    I believe only Lenovo's W series ever utilized MXM video cards, maybe a random IdeaPad here and there, but you are pretty much stuck with what you got. If there was an option for discreet graphics, you could buy that motherboard and swap it in, but honestly it is not worth it (new heatsink, new AC adapter).

    You should be able to go to any 1066 FSB Core 2 Duo (P8x00 series are the best bet without breaking the bank). Didn't know they sold SL510 with Celeron dual cores o_o

    only the W700 and W701 Thinkpads have MXM solution.

    Get vidock and use that.
