Woooo, ordered new laptop!
-
What..no Alienware? In all seriousness, there is nothing as life affirming as a new hardware purchase. I don't have a need for a new computer so I talked myself into a new Kinesis spilt keyboard. I keep hoping I'll find a reason to update my laptop in the next 6 months or so - you know it's time for a replacement when the new smell goes away.

Does it have triple channel memory? I know desktops have had that for a while now; so you'll see 3, 6, 12, etc.

The Google query (( laptop cooking reuters )) finds an article with cautionary numbers - something like a delta-T of 1 degree Celsius, which is typically reached in less than 30 minutes, and yer in trouble. Spreading-the-legs is the workaround - "pads" turn out not to help. The Reuters story is dated 5 November, just a day after your post, Synchronicity ?
