    I bought this rig based on reviews here a little over two years ago and have no complaints but it is a couple years old and I'd like to kknow what my options are.

    • Can I upgrade the video card and if so could you point me to some searchable options or direct links?
    • What is the maximum usable ram upgrade?
    • Any suggestions for a suitable Hard Disk upgrade (large but still fast)
    • Any other suggestions?

    Thanks

    The video card slot is MXM 2.1 HE, so the maximum that you can put is GTX 280M (but it's too expensive around $570)
    My suggestion, if you want to upgrade, sell your notebook and buy a new one.
