    Hyall, I'm wondering if my temperature is right... i got idle at 45-50 degrees celsius and in gaming I get up to 60-65 celsius... is that normal? I've asked around other forums and everyone seems to tell me "Don't worry, it's normal.".. I doubt it... any suggestions? I also have a laptop cooling pad (LAPCOOL 3 - http://www.xoxide.com/vantec-lapcool3-lpc-401.html) and the temperature doesn't go down at all (excedpt for the hard drive which is cooler)... I don't think it'a dust issue because it's just 3 months old and it ran on high temperature since I got it. One more thing.. I was thinking of upgrading my RAM to 1024 (since it has only 512).. that's possible, right?

    That temperature is alittle hot but not horribly far from normal my Core 2 Duo is idle at around 40-45C

    Yes it is possible to upgrade your ram just make sure you get the game type of 200-pin notebook memory, be it DDR or DDR2.
