    My laptop specification:
    Processor i5 2.66
    4gb Ram
    256GB SSD
    Nvidia GT 330M w/ 1GB VRAM

    Memory of SSD is 95% free. Not much data yet.

    When I attempt to play a game - Heroes of Might and Magic 5, the cooling fan gets very-very loud and the laptop gets kinda hot. Is that normal?
