    I have an R2, and I noticed that when I play games, I feel it is running slow. It can't be the hardware not being good enough, because I always play on all low settings. I noticed this recently as I was playing Battlefield BC2, and I would occasionally get disconnected from the EA server, and I was playing Starcraft 2, and the game was laggy.

    Is the factory wireless card at all powerful? If so, is it possible to upgrade it? If not, could it just be my internet connection sucks?

    Also, want to sneak in a quick question, what is the safest point to overclock to (i5 processor)? And if I overclock to a point which is unstable, than what will happen?
