As the graphics are soldered into the motherboard they are not upgradable either.<BR /><BR />It may be possible to upgrade the processor but because your TX uses the Intel® Core™ Solo Processor Ultra Low Voltage U1400, an upgrade may be difficult to find. Any upgrade would probably cause overheating difficulties.<BR /><BR />All in all, the answer is to upgrade your laptop - it will be cheaper.<BR /><BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sonylatvija.com/html/@8A5BDCECEE2E5AB683F2BDAA500F2036/images/smilies/035.png" alt=":slight_frown:" title=":slight_frown:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 21 Jul 2010 16:32:47 GMT https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/upgrading-hardware/m-p/67554#M47436 Blencogo 2010-07-21T16:32:47Z
