Thanks Sankar & SirAlec, Actually thats exactly my plan my fear is if it has two 512 mb rams then one would get wasted :(

No heat issues so far.

Btw whats the max temperature that should be fine for the laptop?

Hi Team, when ever you buy a branded computers you will get memory in pairs... thats because it improves the performance of the system will be boosted speed (we normal users will not be able to make that out, any one in testing can explain us better) and the other general reason is if one memory goes bad still you can work on computer another one and main reason is that memory's are expensive..... also while upgrading the memory check on the existing Mhz and the upgrading once Mhz... if you buy a higher Mhz memory then better change the existing one or install the new one alone, because if the existing memory is of low Mhz than the new one will step down...

Pairs are used to utilize the FSB to max. Its called dual channel mode.

Well there is no ideal temp of any CPU, it depends upon the computing work it is doing, well normally for AMD it ranges from 30 to 55 degree.

PS: If you have V3000 series with nvidia mobo (V3xxx) please check that these lappy has very high failure rate. i came across atleat 5 of them including one of my frens.

v3000 being repaired..
