Seeing as this probably isn't going to see much of its usage running on batter power, I don't see why not.
Yeah, 4 gigs is generally true. Not too many people have the need to throw 8 gigs into a laptop.
You may want to look into a laptop cooler to keep the noise down if you're going to overclock, though. Something with 120 mm fans. |

| i have 2 different laptop coolers already. i keep 1 just incase 1 goes out. and i used it on my old laptop. it got hot. and you cant use a laptop in bed unless you have something to sit it on. tanks for the info on overclocking. i am going to try it out at 3.0 then 3.2 and 3.4. but like a friend told me. even most of the top games don't require that high a processor at max settings. thanks for the info. |
