    Mainly looking for anyone who's done much beyond memory to this laptop. It really is a good unit, no complaints from me. Was very cheap for what it offered in perfomance a year and some change ago, and is holding up well, but i think it could use some freshening up. I have 2gb of ram in it so far, which is great, but was looking for a cpu or HDD upgrade. I believe all the other cpus in this class are 1mb L2 vice 512 right? Also, a quicker hdd would be great, 4200rpm is getting dated. I guess the integrated graphics is and will be the limiting factor on how far it will go, though, right? I don't do any gaming either way, but it'd be nice if it wasn't integrated. THanks a ton all
