Sorry 'bout the delay, I was out on the ocean. Anyhow, I got the Acronis software and it did the trick with my C & D drives; scaled them up just fine. I'm having a strange issue with the other drive, as shown in the pic: Need to get this fixed before Steam Summer Sale!

I've been following these projects as I am interested in upgrading my card, also. You all give me hope. Quick question: what is the difference between the G73SW and my JW?

The drop-down box is their other software options. I am looking to end up at option 1. This will be my Steam / Videos drive. I'll check out the Acronis since it sounds more capable. Thank you.

Thanks. I'll try that program. PC Disk Clone X isn't showing any advanced options:

What are the response times on these things like?

I have EaseUS Partition Master and PC Disk Clone X. Old drives are both 500Gb units; one with C & D drives, the other with F & G drives. New drives are each 1Tb with one being an SSHD. Using a Kingwin EZ Dock 2 USB 3.0 for the cloning. I tried to clone the disks straight over with no luck. Next, I took the new disk and created two 500Gb partitions. I cloned each of the old partitions, each 250Gb, over to the new disk and instead of having the old partitions + an extra 250Gb per partition, I have this: I am unable to expand the volume of each partition. I have not cloned the drive (a 1Gb SSHD) as I want to figure this out first. Any suggestions on how I can get the full Tb out of my drives?

Did this ever work out? I want to upgrade my G73JW. Seeking help/advice here: http://forum.techinferno.com/asus-gaming-notebook-forum/2013-%5Bguide%5D-g73jw-upgrade-nvidia-gtx-660m-11.html MXM guys don't seem to be active anymore.

I still haven't heard from the MXM guys. Anyone have an answer on the 680M?

Did anything ever become of this test with the GTX680? I like my G73JW and would like to keep it and upgrade it. No need to go to another laptop since apparently we will not be pushing beyond 1920x1080 anytime soon (unless I am wrong, and I hope I am). I have emailed the MXM people and haven't heard anything back in several days. I just ordered the heat sink for the JH to do this swap. Also, what are now the best CPUs that we can swap out? I just installed 16Gb (4x4Gb) of Patriot PC3-12800 1600MHz yesterday and I have ordered a 1Tb hybrid and a second 1Tb drive for storage. Trying to get the max bang for my upgrade. Suggestions welcomed.
