    Is the Dell 9300 video card upgradeable using the MXM or Axiom video card module?

    ^^^ It's not just the BIOS... the laptop uses a proprietory form factor video card, it cannot use one of the standard MXM type cards but must use one in this form. Thus, future upgrades are dependant upon what Dell release for this model.
