1.	Solve : Advice on upgrading Alienware M18x?
Answer» My old Alienware M18x NEEDS a need power jack and I'm thinking I could use this opportunity to upgrade because I love the palm rest, keys, and screen. Honestly, I'm just not ready to say goodbye to it yet so I'd like to TRY to breath some new life into it if possible at all. I've seen videos on Youtube of CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD and HDD upgrades for the M18x and I'm curious about UPGRADING but I have no experience at all with upgrading components myself. Right now my specs are as follows i7-2630QM 4GB RAM 750 GB HDD GTX 460M I'd definitely like to try upgrading the GPU but I'm afraid my CPU will bottleneck a newer GPU. If I have to, how difficult WOULD it be to upgrade the CPU and what are my options? I want to upgrade the RAM and GPU at least. I'll probably give it to a laptop repair service for upgrading if I don't feel CONFIDENT enough to try it myself.Nothing wrong with those specs. Do you have a game or application the runs slow?
