    Hey guys, im so excited I just ordered my new laptop. i have a couple of questions so i would appreciate if you guys could direct me in the right directions.

    1. Where can i get windows 7?

    2. I am thinking of getting a blu ray drive from ebay and installing it. What program or drivers do i need in order to view blu ray movies. I am thinking of getting the HLct10n drive. What have you heard about these?

    3. I heard you can add ram to this laptop but i have also heard it only supports 4gs of ram, but i also know it has another slot for an additional card. Is this comp available to have additional ram installed?

    Sorry for asking so many questions. I have to admit i am a nooob when it comes to this.

    Not sure as i dont use Blue Ray, but i've heard Nero will play them (or most other players if you find the correct Codecs)

    3:
    Your 7807 should come with 2x2GB ram modules... you can put in 2x4GB modules, but its going to take ALOT of money for very little gain. Though certain applications will enjoy the extra head room. You dont on the other hand have another slot for a 3rd stick of RAM. If you do you are looking at something all together different and i'm not sure what would happen if you put a RAM module there (i'm leaning toward nuclear holocaust on a biblical scale :p )
