Dont have a notebook card with that power, but my 6800 goes into 80c+, and supposedly those gpus can withstand up to 130C before causing instability. I think your fine for your notebook, I would assume notebook gpus are designed to run...

Hi guys, My sister is going to college and is getting a thinkpad T61 through the university. The notebook comes with a dvd rom/cd-rw drive and 1 gig of ram. I am wondering if its possible to replace the regular dvd/cd-rw drive with a dvd...

umm, your dell was defective and the entire unit should have been replaced. Most decently priced notebooks are designed to withstand some punishment. I am talking, of course, about notebooks costing in the $1500+ range. Dont expect a...

Well considering that you can get a computer with a mobility 9700 for about $1100 with a p-m (better mobile proc) and a 15.4" screen. I would say your laptop is worth around $800 considering it has no dvd burner and a fx5600.
