1) Do you prefer to build your own PC’s or buy a branded system? a) Prefer to build my own 2) How often do you replace or upgrade your PC? e) 3 years or longer 3) How important do you feel an SSD is to system performance? b) Pretty...

(1) Yes, I've got an Intel X18-M G1 80GB. I'm not planning to purchase more until I run out of space on this one, which won't be long since it's only 80GB.   (2) So far the ones I've looked at are Intel, Crucial, and Western...

No. You should be able to keep using the same Windows installation. You needed to reinstall when going from an XP to a 64-bit CPU because that would also require a new mainboard (which then requires new drivers). Merom works in the same...

I don't think either of those is possible. 64-bit RAM means that there are almost certainly only two RAM chips (with a 32-bit data bus for each). There would be no reason to use extra RAM chips and then use software to limit it to 64-bit...

Yes, it can play every game available at the moment. Later games may require a physics accelerator (which obviously isn't supported), but for now the Geforce Go 7600 is a perfectly adequate card for any new game.

I think this is normal for HyperMemory cards. Wikipedia shows a 64-bit memory bus for all the Mobility Hypermemory cards (although I don't know where that information came from). ATI's page lists no information at all about Mobility...

Personally, I went for a HEL80 because I wanted the extra screen size. However, if you're after a more portable laptop the HGL30 is definitely a good choice. Lighter than the HEL80, same performance, and it'll probably get better battery...
