    Hello,
    #1 I just bought and installed 2GB memory in my laptop (from crucial of course) but I noticed reading a few specs, that there is more then one memory slot of this laptop? I've only seen x1 underneith of the "Memory compartment" on the bottom of my laptop. Is there actually another one, if so, where is it located, or wasnt i looking properly in the memory compartment? o_O

    #2 Graphics, I noticed samsung seem to have tweaked there Nvidia drivers some how, preventing people from installing the latest updates and only allowing samsung updates to deal with them. I've installed the "Xtreme-G Mobile 163.67 Vista 32bit" drivers, are these actually recommended? and will they improve performence of games etc alot more, as I seem quite laggy using the samsung ones. I've read other opinions, but would be cool to get some experienced Samsung R70 users opinions!

    Thank you!!

    Ah!! I had another look and its situated just above where the first bit of ram goes. Now I have 3GB ram. Whoop!

    Are your GPU drivers modded also, if so, which ones do you use to get the most up to date?
