    This question is for Ivan

    The MX has consistantly recieved lukewarm reviews of its video capabilities. The May 4th 2005 Gamespot review describes it as "an underwhelming integrated graphics chipset that borrows up to 64MB of system memory", going further to say that "Portable One has plans to equip future versions of the MX with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 with 64MB of its own memory".

    My question regards whether or not the current MX configuration will be upgradable to this improvement, or whether this is incentive to wait for the mark II version with the ATI chip? If so, what will be the added expense?

    i am interested in this topic too. if anyone out there can give us some insight, it seems this is the MX's achilles heel.
