    The R710's hardware will support 2 x 2GB DDR2-800 modules although 32-bit Windows will not use all that RAM. There will be a very small performance boost compared with the supplied 3GB RAM.

    There is only provision for one HDD. The R710 is one of the lightest of the 17" notebooks and doesn't have much space for features such as second HDDs. However, the HDD is easily accessible should you wish to upgrade to the biggest and fastest available.

    Anyone know if the GPU can be upgraded?

    Is it MXM compatible and if so what type of MXM?
