[G46 UPGRADE] Looking for advice/help (SSD + RAM + Unlocked BIOS + ...)

Hi everyone

Firstly, I'm sorry for my written English, I'll do my best to be understandable

I bought my Asus G46VW one year ago, I now want to upgrade and to make it young again

What I want to do is :

- upgrade RAM to 12GB ( add a CRUCIAL SO-DIMM DDR3 8 GB PC12800 )

- add a 120GB MSATA SSD ( SSD CRUCIAL M500 - 120 GB - MSATA )

- flash the latest unlocked BIOS

- install a fresh win7+ubuntu dualboot on the new msata SSD

not sure about the order it must be done



What do you think about that ?


Will the M500 MSATA fit in my G46 ? Is it "safe" ? I've seen people talking about fixing it with duck tape.. huhu (I don't want it to disconnect after a while..)


Any objection before I order the Crucial SSD and DDR3 module (both are 70€) ?


About the unlocked BIOS, it look like a secret vodoo stuff, given to how people don't talk about it in public forum, can somebody explain me ?


About the dual boot, I've read things about the way the OS is installed, I don't want to miss a thing ( sang aerosmith.. )

Want to use Ubuntu for emulation ( Wii, N64, PS2...) so I need to be able to overclock GPU & CPU, that's also why I need unlocked BIOS




Thanks for reading all this mess


Last question : do you run Dolphin (wii emulator) on your G46 ? How does it run ?
