    hi lapdancers, i have had my machine for a few months now and as i read this site a lot i am starting to get the tuning bug, but as i have never done any thing like this before. i am a little worryed about turning my lappy in to a fireball of death do you think it would be best to wait until my warrenty runs out before using ntune or somthing of that ilk

    the best time to do so is when you are properly armend with the knowledge to do so, disasters usually only happen to folks that dont know what they are doing, paitence and research will serve you well.
