    kk, First, does it use notebook RAM or normal RAM? this may seem like a dumb question, but it is a big ass computer.

    second, what would be a good replacement processor? this 2.0 ghz just won't cut it. 2.5-3.0ghz would be good, definately dual core. Or, is there a way to overclock the current one? this would be preferable

    third, cooling - is there any better cooling i could use for this? it gets kinda hot as it is, but I need to upgrade these components

    and last, but not least, A guide to disassembling it? any links? because, though i could figure it out on my own, i'd rather not thanks in advance,

    Alex

    No you cant overclock the cpu, you can the gpu using rivatuner. as for cooling i use a cooling pad it seems to work. Not to mention when you take it apart use artic silver on the cpu, and artic ceramique on the gpu / memory it will help some.
