    It's the same Valueram, it comes down to a point where do you like Kingston or Corsair more? Kinda like AMD or Intel (If same performance and price).

    Because they are both are 1024MB Module, Standard 128M X 64 Non-ECC 667MHz 200-pin Unbuffered DIMM (SDRAM-DDR2, 1.8V, CL5,) and they both have a lifetime warranty ,its just a matter of personal option as xtyfyb mentioned but you might have to go with Corsair becuase its in stock while the Kingston is call for availability.

    I have the antec notebook cooler for my HGL30, and it works well/sits nicely on my lap when I use it. While the HEL80 will add a little extra size I don't think it'll be a problem. I was also considering the cooler you linked to but didn't like it as much (build wise, since its plastic top if im not mistaken) as the Antec which is aluminum top (though watch out, finish isn't great around the pores, kind of like a dull cheese grater!).

    The cooler sits under your laptop and sucks air from the bottom, expelling it from the back and right side. I haven't had any issues with the laptop sliding around on it; the rubber feet of the laptop prevent much sliding to occur on the aluminum for me, not sure how it would be for a larger notebook though.

    Keep in mind that the fans are not adjustable/flippable (well, not in my experience; opened it up and tried but couldn't see how it was possible) so if you wanted the cooler to perhaps blow cool air into the laptop intake, this probably isn't the best cooler. I really only tend to use it for a platform to use on my lap or in bed (as opposed to, well, for cooling) since heat isn't really an issue. But when I do turn it on, I leave it on low setting (high is rather loud in my opinion) and maybe lose a few degrees. It seems to make my left palmrest a little cooler, which is a nice plus.
