    Hello...
    i wonder if i can upgrade my GX620 P8400 2.23
    to stronger CPU like T9600 2.8 i think?
    and if i can the turbo Button will work and it will give me 20% more?

    and about the Graphic Card i wand to upgrade it to can i put on it Gforce 8800 GTX SLI ?

    Thank You

    Yoel

    You can upgrade the GPU in MST 1651, as long as it's a MXM-II and have proper BIOS support. 9600M GT is currently the one of the more available and top-tier performer in the MXM-II class, so if you want to upgrade, consider waiting some time.

    GX620 is designed for MXM-II, GT627 is designed for MXM-III. Different motherboards.

    ok so let me understand the mxm2 and mxm3 is for the gpu only
    and the cpu there is no problem to upgrade it unless the cpu slot is fit's to the motherboar right?

    sorry for all the question's i want to be sure :)
