well that only refers to having someone else do it. the companies are usually pretty tight on not letting other people do work on their products.

mine's an ibm, and they always say the same thing, too.

however, you should check into what can be upgraded by compaq. my bf has a compaq, and recently they doubled his memory, upgraded the graphics card and gave him a larger drive (from 10 GB to 30 GB). he's been in 7th Heaven since then.

they even sent a messenger to pick it up, and did the work so that he had it back inside of 5 days (including shipping)!!

he plays everything on that thing. he even has wiz 8 on it!
