but we all know laptops are expensive for their performance. one major think i dont like about laptops is you can't build it yourself and cant OC it. convenience and portability sorta makes up for that though

thanks ..ill put it in the cart...

It looks like that micro atx mobo has DDR2 667 as its standard...you said you had DDR2 800 right? :\
