    My laptop has recently started to lag when playing games and watching TV with my USB tv tuner.

    I think the hard drive and ram are to blame. I'm going to format and do a thorough cleaning before I commit to buying anything. In the event I do need to replace my hard drive or ram, is there anything I need to know?

    Will I run into problems when installing windows on the new hard drive with the dell cds included with my system?

    What's the hard drive size limit?

    I have a Core 2 Duo T7200, is that 64-bit compatible? I forgot, I bought this system 2 years ago. Should I get 64-bit windows Xp and then buy 4gbs of ram?

    =)

    I would like the Assembly guide so I can really get in there and clean the vents and fans. I have a cat, and I will need to carefully pick out hairs with a tweezer.


    Thanks in advance.
