    I am wondering if anyone knows the real RAM capacity of these laptops despite Best Buy's specs on their website.

    Also, when it is said that the i5 processor can run 2.56 with overclocking and i7 at 2.8, is the 2.8 supposed to be per core? I want to be sure that I am reading that right, since 1.6 to 2.8 seems like it would make the laptop explode.

    Max RAM(Correct me if I'm wrong doing this from memory lol) G60 is 8GB and the G73 is 16GB. Like I said don't quote me. And if you google Intel core i3, i5, i7 and it will give you a sense of how it works. But in summary for the i7 1.6 is the core clock for all of the cores. If an application doesn't use all 4 cores, it overclocks the cores it's actually using. example would be if it's using 1 core it will overclock to the 2.8Ghz. I feel that I'm not explaining it to well. Just google it lol :D
