Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card and the RAM?

Yes---you can go up to 16GB in 2 slots but to upgrade the graphics you really would need to put in a more powerful power supply as well.Keep in mind it is a rather small motherboard, unless CyberpowerPC has changed it in the past 6 months .Here are the MB specs http://us.msi.com/product/mb/H81ME33.html#/?div=BasicIt does nicely at gaming without changing anything, if that's what you want to use it for.

John Aho,You can upgrade the graphics card, or any other component, as you choose. Please note that any component that is properly installed and does not damage the system will *not* void the warranty on the computer.

No you can't upgrade the graphics card. you can only install the same graphics mainly for replacements.

No. The memory is fixed on the motherboard and is not something that you can upgrade. 4GB RAM is all that it has and will ever have.

No you cannot. It is very rare to find any laptop that can be upgraded in terms of processor and/or graphics card. Only desktops have that privilege.

Yes, you can replace the processor. And if you place high detailed games yes you should. Its graphic card rating is a 4.6 out of 10 it shows. Everything else is 7.5 to 8.5.

You can definitely upgrade it to 16GB.There are two pairs of ram card slots.one pair of slots is easy to get to and the other...Not so much, If you are confident in your computer dis-assembly and reassembly skillsthan you should be fine (But I believe it might void the warranty if you take your computer apart that much) Upgrading to 32GB which would be 4 X 8GB cards in the laptop.So to recap,It maxes at 32GB it's just hard to get to the last 2 slots.

To improve graphics you would first look at the GPU then the max screen resolution. The RAM would normally just assist with speed but not necessarly graphics speed. This product should be compatable with products 2011 and later.

Yes it can. I upgraded with a stick of Kingston DDR3 for a total system memory of 8 gigs.

yes, a ram upgrade is feasible up to 8 gb. You can add another 2gb stick for about $20. Here's a good upgrade: Crucial 2GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL11 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.35V/1.5V Notebook Memory Module CT25664BF160B

Mac mini RAM and HD can be upgraded. There is an access panel on the bottom for these upgrades. Even the latest model.

No, it is not possible to upgrade the graphics card or it's memory unfortunately.

yes, you can upgrade the graphics card on mostly every computer if it has a good RAM which in this case it does. :)

I don't know the answer to that question. The PC meets my needs as is and I have never looked into possible upgrades. Sorry.

Yes. Can upgrade to max of 8 G of ram. Computer comes with 6 G of ram, a 2 G and a 4 G stick. You would have to remove to 2 G stick and replace with another 4 G for max of 8 G. I don't know if the upgrade would be worth the money. Works good with the installed 6 G of ram.

Yes, you can upgrade the RAM, but only to 8 G. Also, it only has room for one chip and make sure you get the right one. As far as changing out the HD drive, I believe you can, but I am not sure which one you could use. Maybe when you change the RAM you can check what is possible with the drive since you have to pull the whole bottom off to access the memory. I've been using the laptop as is and it works well for all I do. I woul recommend using the laptop for awhile before you change anything. Maybe it will work just fine "as is" for you?

cant say for sure since I haven't used it for Gaming, However I would say yes since it is a very responsive computer with the factory standard 4 gig memory and I believe it can be upgraded to 8 gig which would definitely do the trick.
