    What GFX card are you getting?
    The M570RU-U can support the 8700M GT, the 7950GTX, the 8800M GTX and the FX1600M(~quadro 8700M GT) , and the FX3500M(~quadro 7950gtx), and the FX3600M(~quadro 8800M GTX)
    Also ,it supports Extreme CPUs and overclocking the cpus.

    I will get the 8800m GTX but this is just a question for the far future.

    They`re basically the same, except that the FX3600M is going to be better for CAD and 3d rendering, open gl,etc ,so it`ll be a tiny bit slower than the 8800M GTX. And it`s more expensive,also..

    Hmmm....., with all due respect to the OP (@MrProim - it's not your fault, other than that it indicates that you haven't done much reading on this forum, because the question has been asked and answered ad nauseam, and yet it keeps popping up like the mole in whak-a-mole wakamole.jpg ), this is becoming an incredibly silly question, so let's try this approach:

    No, the M570RU-U GPU cannot be upgraded; however, you can mix and match with the following list of existing GPUs (as provided by the esteemed eleron911), and you can swap out one existing GPU for another existing GPU:
    1. 8700M GT
    2. 7950GTX
    3. 8800M GTX
    4. FX1600M
    5. FX3500M
    6. FX3600M

    Beyond that, if a GPU does not exist right now, then, by definition, it cannot be put into the M570RU-U. :rolleyes:

    There is of course a small possibility that some new cards may work in the existing M570RU-U, but thats all it is, a SMALL possibility

    I have been known to believe crazy things and be right in the same time.
    I`m throwing a ball, let`s see who`ll catch it : the 9800M series will work in the RU with a minor S3(early version) issue :D
    I`m saying that because,again, I AM GUESSING that the 9800M series will be a die shrink of the 88M series.

    In the clevo scene bios modding and stuff is dead bud.

    I have never seen many bioses floating around.

    I just know about 3500m for dell bioses.

    Why do you need a 3500M bios anyway? your 7950GTX is better at gaming, and you can`t turn the GTX into a quadro just with a bios...
