The laptop has been brilliant in regards to heat. Had it on til 6am yesterday from buying it, in which i did the naughty thing of using it in bed and slightly making it go hotter than normal, and it was still what I would class as cool.

It is definitely the hard drive were the noise is coming from, it just reads it a bit noisily, but other than that it is absolutely fine and it has quietened down dramatically since first using it.

I haven't really pushed it much yet because I haven't transferred all my old stuff over from the other laptop.

Also on the RAM issue, I can't really afford to put more in it at the moment even if it doesnt have space but I will consider it in future once I start using it for my work and stuff. Fortunately all my work is on paper at the moment so I'm not really having to do too much.

Quick question though. Would I be able to wipe the Vista off and put XP on myself? Or will the laptop not support it?
