a new cpu and another gb of ram, should keep me content, but all in all this is a slick laptop, and there will always be qwerks, but i mean it's something i'll adjust to, unless i got to sit down somewhere and personally test several laptop's i doubt i would find something perfect for me, but this is a decent system, just spend that extra 100 or 200 on newegg and get that additional 500mhz if you plan on this, and be ready to spend the day uninstalling and cleaning out old software, and running thru the msconfig and disabling non essential services and startup apps. Look on the brightside now i got those new nifty Windows Vista Compatible Stickers on here...didn't see that on other peoples pictures of there 5672... 



that was one my priorities, just to have "in case" maybe i wanna sell this sometime later down the road, but not anytime soon as i think this baby is gonna last me a minute, and i think althought the heat is higher the equipment is rated to handle higher temperatures, and yea, just keep a little desk fan aime on ur armrest while u type, and it does wonders.. the following games run very well on here... "CounterStrike, and anything on the Source engine..HL2, DOD, RED ORCHESTRA,etc... age of empires III, Enemy territory..lol (it's a classic ) COD2, Rainbow Six Lockdown, Act of War: High Treason,Farcry, Heroes of the Pacific I got Ghost Recon: AW laying around here, but i didn't bother to install it, as i didn't care for the gameplay, but i mean i got it to run on a athlon 2400+ with a softmodded 9800se, (on the lowest possible settings) so i'am sure it will run on here, as it has the same requirements as obilivion minus being PhysX compatible. but yea, only got a few first person shooters, i am still playing mostly older games, age of empires II axis and allies, even warcraft II lol...but yea i run alotta 3D apps, autocad '07, 3D Studio Max 8, and Poser 6 all flawless.. and now i got everything on here the way i like, i run 30 processes, and use 205mb of ram, and usually don't even take the ePower mgmt off of medium cpu settings unless it's 3D, something 3D, but you get this machine your gonna be content with this, i think the heat is a factor, but peope inflate it into such a bigger issue wait until Intel Releases Quad Core Processors imagine what kinda heat that will put out, take the heat on the left side now and double it..lol hopfully a better cooling and heat dispursement technology's will come about, but like most things, it's not really invented until there is a need, now that these things are getting more powerfuly, there gonna get hotter, besides i think we are on a big jump like we havent' seen since the mid to late 90's we kinda been in a technological recession, and with intel gaining stride again, and alotta announcements of new things to come, and even apple will get some credit for pushing the envelop on making visual pleasing as well as able to handle incredible workloads, and new battery types are being developed that use micro bacteria, and last almost 10 times longer then current battery systems on the market...lol damn i got on a rant,but yea you see where i am going with this..uh i think.

I'll probably end up getting a mini fan to blow on the keyboard. Hopefully the hybrid HDD's KinzaKracker was talking about in another thread will help the heat problem, because the HDD is whats causing the heat on the handrest.
