I have an ASUS UL30VT
4 GB RAM DDR3
Core 2 Duo SU7300
Switchable graphics (Intel & Nvidia G210M)
It's a great laptop but it's also 3 years old.
The main reason i wanted to upgrade was because of all the upcoming games.
Assassins Creed III
Dishonored
Skyrim
and more...
My computer struggled to play the last AC Revelations (Gameplay was tolerable but the cutscene's video would lag behind the audio, by heaps)
I don;t have enough money to buy a new laptop, and definitely not anything with decent gaming potential in the same form factor.
What I was planning on doing was upgrading the internals.
Eg. I wanted to upgrade to a 500GB SSD when i upgrade to Windows 8 but that's not a big problem, neither is upgrading the RAM.
I want to upgrade the graphics card to an Nvidia 600M series
Also the CPU to an i7 (3rd Gen)
to do all that I'll need to upgrade the motherboard though
I can't seem to find any of this stuff on the net so I can get an estimate.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thx in advance!
