    Upgrading from gt 555m (asus n55sf laptop)

    I'm aware this thread is a bit dated but I had to interject my two cents based on what I know of the N**SF line by ASUS. I have an N75SF, and Not only is the GPU not soldered onto the board, it's in a mini pcie 2 slot and changing it couldn't be easier, on the N75SF, I mean. I'm of the opinion...

I'm really not familiar with the logistics of it all...
