    Hey all, I'm new to the forums. I'm in the process of modding my n80 and I wanted some feedback.

    t9800 2.97 ghz ES Core with Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound

    4gb X2 of g.skill memory

    4g intel turbo memory (I know overkill)

    Vista Home Prem 64 bit

    G.SKILL TITAN Series FM-25S2S-256GBT1 2.5" 256GB SATA II Internal Solid state disk (SSD) - Retail (waiting for this to come out)

    BT-183_Bluetooth Module

    Is it 800Mhz? I thought the N80 used 800Mhz ram, but i don't think GSkill make anything other than 4Gb 667Mhz ram.

    They have been released from places like BestBuy already, so shouldn't be far away. 8Gb and SSD sound like fun to me anyway... Enjoy and let use know your results.

    That site looks very unprofessional to me.

    Grammar and Layout discrepancy, I would honestly not purchase from them base on the fact if their a computer company the website should look a lot more professional.

    Not saying they aren't good just looks a tad fishy to me.

    Yeah that site looks über sketchy. I purchased my processor from extremeprocessor on eBay. The processor is already in NYC. I kinda jumped the gun and disassembled the lappy already. I'll post some pics once I get home.
