Is what I'm hoping for, but I didn't have a proper pc playing 1.0. I used my macbook pro.

My laptop NVIDIA card has 3GB of RAM built into it. Hopefully in the years to come, there will be a way to freely switch your graphics cards by just taking out the chip and popping in a new one, much like putting a game card into a Nintendo DS.

Oh gosh, here's hoping!! lol

This is a very cool site. You can customize everything to fit your budget, plus they have sales right now.

That's where I'm getting the computer from. ^^ I'm customizing a rig while cross referencing prices on Newegg, I decided it was cheaper to let them build it for me.

You already can, but it's fairly limited. Many Clevo/Sager based laptops have user upgradable GPU cards.
