    I just thought that I would post some benchmarks from the Inspiron 8600 here. If anyone owns another inspiron I would love it if you could add to this. I particularly want to find out performance difference between the Radeon 9600 pro turbo and the 9700, and the performance increase in adding more RAM. For those willing to go through more trouble, please download I8kfangui, a utility that shows temperatures throughout your system. I want to find out if it's just me, or if it's dangerous for the GPU to run at 100°C. Thank you.
