    Um...from what I understand, when it comes to laptops, you get what you get. The GPU is soldered into the Motherboard, hence you can't really "upgrade" from the 335m if that's what you purchased. Now if you're ORDERING from dell atm, and have the option to "upgrade" your GPU (choice between 335m and whatever they have now), that's different.

    Well the R2 you can just download from the Nvidia site,the R1 is the one where you have to be careful when you upgrade,but because the R2 and R3 have Optimus Technology just download right ahead!
