    Hi there, i got a asus G50vt recently the one in blue. and was wondering when i saw it online a while ago it was Orange but the one my parents purchased was blue not the actual "G50v". Just wondering which one is actually better cause i've been doing some reading. it appears to be better.

    Also it comes with 667MHZ Ram speed 2x 2GIG RAM slots.
    which is basically very slow nowdays....

    Intel Website with chispet specifications >>

    Mobile Intel® PM45 Express Chipset

    It indicates Max Memory ==> 8 GB
    It also says FSB Speed 667MHz / 800MHz / 1066MHz

    Does this mean i can upgrade to 8GB of DDR2 RAM 1066MHZ
    or 8GB of 667
    or 8GB of 800
    Or 8GB of 1066 MHZ

    As for the CPU is it possible to upgrade the intel chispet as well? :D
    I was looking at this one

    Intel® Core™2 Extreme quad-core mobile processor (QX9300)

    Or

    Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T9900 (6M Cache, 3.06 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)

    Will these above cpu's be able to run on my laptop if i decide to upgrade?

    Im a eager beaver! let them coomments RUN! :D
