    Hello, I am a new user in this forum and I would like to do a few questions about my Acer;

    1.- Which gpus were released for the 5742 series?

    2.- Which motherboards would fit in the 5742's body?

    3.- My model has got the ATI HD 5470. I have read about people that upgraded their cpu to a quad core i7 but they had a black screen because that i7s hadn't got a internal gpu. As I have an external gpu, would a i7 940xm work or should I go for the i7 640m?

    Thanks a lot.
