    Hi, I've had my m17x for a few weeks now and I am having some problems with it. For some reason, it will spike to CPU Usage 100% out of nowhere I restart my laptop and it goes away for a while, anyone have an idea what could cause this? ( I use Windows 7 )

    Nevermind, it was a program I had in the background. xP I do have a question, is there a big performance increase between 4 GBs of ram and 8 GBs?

    Absolutely no performance increase, or a very marginal increase, unless you use applications that love memory. No game will hit that much in the near future.
