    1. I was wondering exactly what kind of improvement (if any) could I expect if I upgrade a G2S from 2 to 3 gigs of RAM?? And I also read somewhere that 3 gigs of RAM could actually make your laptop perform worse?

    2. And the other thing is will it be possible to upgrade a G2S from its 8600 GPU to one of the soon to come 8800 GPUs??? I mean I have heard a lot of talk that a C90 would be able to upgrade to a 8800 GPU so I was wondering why not a G2S as well??

    The c90s is a completely different notebook, it was designed to be fully upgradable, unlike the G2s. I doubt you can upgrade the G2s's video card, though its based off the ASUS A7 notebook, which the Z84j was based off of, and the Z84j could be upgradable to a 7900GS. That just messes everything up and I have no idea until someone buys the G2s and opens it up.
