I have a USB drive formatted for booting with an autoexec.bat file which allows me to just press "y" if ever I run into trouble (like the time I flashed the desktop GTX BIOS instead of the laptop one). It also allows me to...

Most of these fall into the "It Depends" category. 1. If you wait for a card which actually fits this laptop, probably not. If you use the current 7800GTX updagrade which requires modding your laptop a little, then I would...
