    Well im considering it, but I heard there are still some drivers that have issues. Im thinking of letting all those drivers surface then installing it. Or maybe just using 32 bit and allocating the other gig of ram to something important. How about you? I heard some people are having trouble not getting all their accessories.... :(

    Today I ordered a 8 cell battery though. For 99$

    I got a really crappy LED screen, it had the worst backlight bleeding ive ever seen on any laptop. The top of the screen was much brighter than the bottom part. I also decided to return it instead of exchanging it because i didn't really need all that power so i can instead save some $ for something else. :D

    Sweet! How was the game?? ;) :cool:

    AWESOME on the laptop arriving.....you outta throw a *welcome...home* party ;) :) :D LOL

    At one point I was thinking about doing the same with the 64bit..but have changed my mind for the time being ;) :) Waiting on that decision...kind of *procrastinator* on these things ;)

    Do you really want to go to 64Bit? Or, do you think you can live with 32bit, for now????? ;) :)
