Looking to upgrade a Laptop

[alpha88]

I'm looking to upgrade my Precision M65.

I'd like a faster cpu and a faster video card, but I don't want to void my warrantee.

I've heard that the mobile Core Duo can be replaced with a mobile Core 2 Duo. Likewise, I know of people who have upgraded video cards.

Can either of these be done without voiding the warrantee (assuming I put the original parts back in if I ever need warrantee work), and if so, how hard are they to do and where do I find mobile video cards?

Upgrading the CPU or GPU on your own are not covered by the warranty and essentially void the warranty. I don't know how Dell knows if you did remove the CPU heatsink; maybe some kind of breakable sticker. As for upgrading the GPU, you'll only be able to use what was offered with the M65 since I doubt that it is MXM compatible, and even with that, if the BIOS could support a different video card.
