    Samsung R580 Upgrade

    I just bought a Samsung R580 i5 Processor 430M (2.26 GHz, 3 MB) nVIDIA GeForce GT 310m


    I would like to really max it out over time like upgrade the cpu, ram etc

    Is it possible to upgrade the discrete graphics card to a 330m or higher?

    Upgrading the video card in a laptop is a very very new choice.

    Ferrit means that since the option to upgrade specific parts in laptops is a new idea for manufacturers the availability of options for upgrades is extremely limited if not non-existent for many systems. I agree with him on this and would also suggest talking to Samsung about your options for upgrades.

    Last question this laptop didn't come with any battery or DC adapter and was wondering would I need the 60v or the 90v adapter because I heard that the nvidia 330m use a 90v and my 310m uses a 60v and also will this battery below work good.
