    Hi All,

    I just ordered my Zd8000 yesterday it's fully loaded with a 3.4 GHZ
    I'll also purchased 2 gigs of ram from Kingston for an additinal $325

    I'll be doing alot of Photoshop stuff so the ram will be helpful !!

    I was wondering what is the best Laptop cooler to buy ??

    Also has anyone run it without a cooler for extended periods of time ??

    How much of a difference does it make with it ?

    As I plan to leave the laptop on 24/7 And I am concerned about the heat and the possibility pre-mature breakdowns as a result

    Thanks......Shkj

    shkj - glad u wasted money on a pentium and an xtra GB of RAM that u will never utilize with graphics software, but its your money!! Anyway, here's the low-down on Laptop coolers - I bought one from new egg and it appears to be pretty well-built and compact to boot, but here's a link for official results so you can get some answers:
