    I recently bought the M45-S355 and I LOVE it (especially the bright display). The only downside is the graphics, which is installed with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator. Is it possible to buy something better like the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 (which is in the Canadian version of the M45) and is it easy to install? Sorry for my newb talk.

    Sorry, with most notebooks in the market, you can't upgrade the graphics card. This is one of the items that can't be replaced/upgraded. Is there a performance problem you're having or just want to get it swapped out?

    Ah, disappointing. I haven't tested its performance yet, just wanted to swap it so I could play games like counter-strike.

    I believe the original Couter-Strike will play fine. I'm not too sure about CS:Source as this game uses the Half-Life 2 engine which requires a lot more power. Give it a try as it may perform just fine.

    a friend of mine has the M45 and he couldn't get Far Cry to run properly on it...
