Small correction. You can upgrade your audio ... with either a PCM-slot audio card or a USB or firewire external card.

How Do I Know My PSU Amperage Im Using A Laptop ?![]()
You basically don't worry about it as there is nothing to upgrade. If it is the one in your specs the GPU is soldered to the motherboard and completely un-upgradeable.
i have an question
is core2duo e7500@2.93 GHz (before overclocking)bottlenecking if I use a GTX 480?
and is capable of when I overclocked to 3.22 GHz?
thx b4
Nice thread & nice simple guide specially for those who are new on these matters, like me. I think i really have to upgrade my PSU before I buy a graphics card. But just one question, I've read in one the threads here that a 250w PSU can run a HD 5450 or even a HD 5570 but with limited space though. How true is it?
Well, don't ever rely on some video showing temps, you have to look at it this way:
1) Room temps (you don't know if the room temp is similar to yours)
2) Air flow (the case you have may be better/worse)
3) Overclock profile (if you're not overclocking, temps are going to be cooler)
4) Brand and Model of the GFX, there are several models and cooling solutions for 1 card, ASUS has its DirectCU II, MSI has its Twin Frozr II.. just to name a few.
aaaaaand, last but not least.
5) Your other components. :)
The same thing i told another forum fella once: just because you saw a Core i5 750 getting to 4.2GHz on air, doesn't mean that yours is going to behave exactly the same way, you have to take a look at the other variables to make your decision.
BTW: HIS' IceQ Turbo X are extremely cool GFX, their cooling solution is off the chains! go for it![]()
