    does your laptop make a buzzing sound when you put your ear behind the screen. Its not too loud, but you can hear it, is that normal?

    Sorry to get off the topic but i have a question about the memory. I bought my FE about three weeks ago. I ran a software program called "CPU-Z" so that i could see my configuration. As i was looking, i noticed that the memory frequency was 266 MHz. When i ordered my laptop from the sony site, i remember it said 533 MHz. I went to check it again and still said 533 MHz. Is there something i'm missing here or is it just my lack of knowledge?
    Please help! :confused: :confused:
    Here is what i get:

    266 x 2 = 532

    Regarding the screen buzzing, I have just had a listen and I can hear a buzzing from behind the screen, but only if I have my ear touching or v.nearly touching the case. I am not worried by it
