    I've been thinking about buying the ASUS F3JP off of newegg because it seems to be a much better notebook than what I have seen from compaq, dell, gateway etc. I am also planning on upgrading the RAM to 2 gb if i get one. My only question is... is there a 12 cell battery i could get for the F3JP because the battery life with the 6 cell is a concern for me.

    I was also wondering what kind of battery life i would be getting with simpler tasks such as word processing with the 6 cell and 9 cell option. The reason i ask is i will be taking my new labtop to college and i may want to take it to school and the battery would need to last a school day. Also, what kind of performance would i see out of the F3JP (it has a radeon mobility x1700) on games such as oblivion, fear, or battlefield 2.
