    Smile Suggest an upgrade!

    Hey there guys, pretty soon my birthday will be upon me and its a great boost to the amount of money i will have, si i was thinking about buying an upgrade for my computer, but am not really sure what would make the most difference and what is compatible, so i figured most of the people here would know more about it than i would -
    System specs:
    Alienware M17x 64-Bit based PC
    Intel core 2 quad CPU Q9000 @ 2.00 Ghz , 2001 Mhz , 4 cores , 4 logival processors
    4.00 GB ram
    I know its not the best and its a laptop so not easy to upgrade, let me know if theres anything else you need to know about, and thanks in advance for the help

    Wouldn't that mean that the computer is the best it can possibly be? I get from 15-25 FPS on a custom settings set that varys from low to good, doesn't that seem low for this computer or is that just me

    Can't upgrade anything in the laptop that would increase your FPS.

    Laptops suck for upgrading =\
    If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One... now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.

    You "can't" (or rather, shouldn't attempt) make upgrades that would increase your FPS; ie, CPU, motherboard and GPU.
    You could add an SSD or more RAM, but it would be more akin to lifesupport and a waste to invest more money into that computer.
