take away the mouse
take away the 7200rpm hdd (unless same price, switch from 160Gb to 100Gb for some cases)
no need 9-cell batt also, 6-cell can last about 2.5-3hrs.
actually no need gfgo7400 also lah, they play WoW meh

Vibrate quite violently anot?
Actually my experience was (playing music cd on wmp11) once in a while can feel the CD like knocking the edge of the dvd drive. Other than that everything works well

anyone knows why my HDD space keeps disappearing so rapidly??

It used to be 117GB before I transferred 7,8GB of songs into my laptop. It then became 100... and now it's 99.8GB??

clear your internet temp files ( a lot of pics inside 1)
disable system restore

Hi
I need your help.

Currently, i'm using the 640m
running on intel dual core processor
i purchase it last oct with 1gb ram.
which means i have another slot left.
I want to upgrade my ram.
This 640m supports up to how many ram?
My 1 gb ram is from dell.
hw should i go about it in upgrading my ram?
I do not know what ram i should buy from SLS
becos i dont know what is compatiable for 640m.
If i purchase a ram of higher speed, it will step down
to e lower ram correct?
can you enlighten me on which are the exact ram that i can buy from SLS? What should i tell the sales man?


Thanks a million.
