I just purchased the DS xm-15 laptop that comes stock with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M graphics card. I was wondering if in the event I wanted to upgrade the graphics card in the future what would be an upgrade and would be compatible with this laptop? In other words is the GeForce GT 650M graphics card compatible with this laptop? If not what is?

I think that the GT 640 or GT 650 could probably fly, although heat might be pretty high, but any card above that would produce way too much heat. However, you would likely see little performance increase anyway, because the 640 and 650 both dynamically clock themselves, and if the temperature rises too drastically, they will throttle back. All in all, it is probably not worth it, unless you have an amazing cooler, and you live in the Arctic. As to what you could use, I have no idea.
