anyone know if you can swap a 256meg 7900gs for a 512meg 7950gtx..? yay or nay? i think its possible but not 100% sure. the M1710 got the two cooling pipes and all that so it should handle the extra heat.

I don't have the m1710 but I know you can't upgrade it. You can only upgrade things like the cpu and graphics card on a few laptops. The xps is not one of those. You could always try overclocking it but do remember that this could damage your laptop and will void your warranty.
