How do you go about upgrading to the dual head verssion? How much does the dual head reduce the build envelope?

You can upgrade the ram by replacing it--I've done that. In fact, I upgraded to 8gig. However, you actually take the top off and then work your way down from the top until you get to the ram. I used a Youtube video to walk me through it.

I managed to upgrade it to 4.0 before I sold it. It was a simple upgrade. Unfortunately, it still wasnt completely stable.

Good website. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I will probably go with the first one an get the software if needed. good advice. The new one looks pretty, gut I don't spend money if there isn't enough upgrade to justify the added espense.

I removed the cover today on mine to replace the HDD with an SSD and add another mSATA. BE FOREWARNED: To remove the case you have to break a "Warranty Void" sticker. Once inside you will find *nothing* can be upgraded replaced without having to completely disassemble the system; I decided to not attempt it. I've been building/upgrading systems for 20 years and the internal design of this system was complex enough to scare me off. The only thing that appears to accessible is the HDD but I could figure out how it was mounted and wasn;tabout to tinker about and make a $2K paperweight :)

it said something about upgrading it to win 8 for 15$ on acer's site. also, this isn't available on amazon and i dont think it will be for a long time so i am getting Acer Aspire V3-571G-6407 for similar to better performance and basically the same thing without in built mic.

I brought Corsair Builder Series CX 500 Watt and ASUS GTX 660 Ti Series. It runs flawlessly and I even got the 3D vision glasses. If you want to spend less money, then build your own desktop computer. That's something I wished I did instead. Yes, you can upgrade the power and graphic.

You can upgrade the GPU/ram/hard drives without voiding warranties. I may be wrong, but, I do not think you can upgrade the cpu at all being as it is attached to the mobo. I don't know about the extended warranty.

I haven't done it yet but see no reason that wouldn't allow you to. I plan to add more ram to the one I own. As for upgrading the OS that shouldn't be any issue either.

Yes,pretty much everything can be upgraded,I just got a bad one though I think,keeps shutting off for no reason ugh !

It takes about 5 minutes really. Go to youtube and look up tutorials. Super easy and great upgrade.

My suggestion is do a search on your make and model on both the H-P website and Tom's Hardware (http://www.tomshardware.com/). I invariably find what I need to know on Tom's site or the manufacturer's. I'm assuming you either have the machine's manual or have downloaded it in PDF format. It should definitely tell you all about your memory and upgrading the same. Hope this helps...

I had a 240 and the upgrade wasn't amazing straight out of the box - if you're lucky and get one that you can unlock, then you're obviously in good shape. Otherwise you won't notice much improvement until you overclock it a bit - luckily there you have a lot of guides on the Internet specifically for the Phenom X2 550. Mine's running comfortably at 3.72 GHz, (1.45v, x15.5 multiplier, CPU up from 200 to 240) - it's on all the time because it's a work/media server, and restarts are only necessary when I'm installing updates (or it crashes playing Far Cry 3). For the price, it was a good stopgap upgrade, but I'm still looking to move to Intel at the middle-to-end of the year.

depends? what are you going for? what OS do you have? if you just listen to music then that's some serious drop in cash for a minor upgrade (and even then prolly only the trained ear can hear a difference *or think they do* ) so it really comes down to what you do with the card and driver support.

The same model can have different processors. If it doesn't clearly specify a duo core; then I wouldn't trust it as so.

It can be upgraded up to 32RAM, you might need to go through their web site to custom build. You can modify just about everything. You'd want to make sure cracking the case and doing it yourself would not void the warranty if you try that.

Yes, you wont see any performance gain from quad channel (does your motherboard support quad channel?) 2x4gb is plenty for anybody at this point until software multitasking progresses.
