Is it possible to upgrade the processor on the m1330? currently have the 2.0ghz t7300 in mine and was interested in maybe adding in one of the newer processors such as the t9300 or t9500. Would t be just a case of buying and popping old one off and replacing with new module? Thanks for any help with this.

best 20 ever spent, it took a month for the keyboard to get here from Hong Kong but its well worth the money spent, super easy to replace, two screws under the battery, flip over and remove hinge covers(pry with a little flat head), carefully pop up the media controls, unscrew the two screws at the top of the keyboard, flip up the ribbon hinge keeper, remove the cable, remove the keyboard, and bam, do the opposite with the new one, took less than 10 minutes.! Keys feel a lot softer with the Vostro 1400 keyboard and don’t feel so plastic y/fake. Thanks!

[...] It’s very easy to upgrade memory in a Dell XPS M1330. Fortunately, you don’t have to disassemble the laptop because both memory slots are accessible through the bottom. All you have to do is remove the memory cover from the bottom and you’ll see both RAM slots right in there. [...]

TJ,
I believe you cannot upgrade the video card in this laptop because it’s integrated into the system board. If you would like to get a better video card you’ll have to replace the whole motherboard.
There are two different motherboards with two different video cards:
1. Intel® Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
2. 128MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8400M GS
