    I'm looking into the feasibility of upgrading my X205-SLI1, but I am not too sure about compatibility...

    Processor: would like a X7900 or Better

    RAM: Already maxed at 4GB, looking into "ReadyBoost" SSD ideas...

    Video Card: Would like better...

    Any ideas or advice would be welcome :)

    Processor - waste of money
    Readyboost - waste of money
    Video Card - not upgradeable

    I thought about going to a 7200 Hitachi drive or waiting another 6 months or so for SS drives to become affordable.

    Right On! I know a 7200 RPM hard drive made a difference in my old HP - But that was going from a 42000 RPM drive
