    Well guys it is supposed to be here in the morning and I have a couple questions about it while I am waiting :rolleyes: .



    Mine has the T5300 Duo2core, 2Gigs of ram, 160 gig 5400 rpm HDD, and the Nvidia 7400 and I am wondering if it will run really warm with my configuration like most posts on say it does?


    Does it have 1 or 2 fans, why do some have 1 and some have 2?


    Do I need a chill mat just for surfing the net for a few hours daily.


    Will the Nvidia 7400 I ordered make it run hotter than the standard GMA950 integrated graphics?


    Also do you think this notebook will run much hotter and louder than my previous Dell 1520?


    BTW I can't wit for it to get here :D .

    Well if most posts say it will, then it probably will. Gaming notebooks (or notebooks with a dedicated GPU) will usually get warm.


    No you shouldn't need one for that.
    The best thing you can do is read the Monitoring mobile ATI & nVidia Video Card Temps guide. Monitor your HDD, CPU and GPU temperatures. That way you'll know if your notebook is getting too hot and when/if you should use a cooling pad.
    When you play games you should turn on the fans on maximum and probably use a cooling pad.

    Yes. Integrated GPUs don't produce much heat compared to more powerful GPUs.
