Hi guys,
I was just wondering what is the best video card I could upgrade to on my labtop. Also what factors does the video card depend on? Like would I have to get a better mother board, cpu? I have a nvidia ge force go 7600 and was going to upgrade to GeForce 8600M GS. I was wondering if I could upgrade to something even better such as a 1gb video card? Hopefully I can get some feedback. Thanks!

"The GPU gets very hot, although I have not noticed any artifacts or slow-downs while gaming. Idle is around 67* - 72*C, and while gaming, it is around 85* - 90*."

If it does have a GPU 'card', I'm not sure that putting an even hotter one in there would be a good idea.
Seems to be a 'really' nice unit.
