Hello everyone!! im new to the forum but i have been a (anonymous) part of the community by reading the forums searching for answers or even just reading to spend time and learn a few things...
here's the thing... i like to play mmorpg in my laptop... not the most demanding ones but i like to play wow, aion, perfect world international, even DOTA and stuff like that... i used to play on an old hp pavilion 4 but now i bought a samsung with a geforce 330m 1gb... but well, my question is...does playing in windowed mode affect:
a) performance of the game ( i know generally you get better fps at the cost of some quality)... or that's what i've read
b) life/performance of the video card/chip
c) "life" and performance of the processor
but i mean like "small" resolution windowed mode... like mmm half of the screen but "centered"... so one can see, for example, the taskbar and the desktop around the game screen...
i ask this because i used to play like that on my old laptop... and after a year, either becaouse of driver/memory/video chip/something but i wasnt able to play anymore (the "display driver stopped working and has recovered") issue... which i never found solution so i bought this new samsung rf410 (i have low budget), with intel i3 330m, 4 gb ram, nvidia geforce 330m... i dont want to play demanding games, just the mmorpgs i mentioned... but i really want to know if there's any problem by playing in windowed mode, cause i dont want to mess something again and wouldnt be able to play anymore... thanks for your help in advance!!

... one last question... i played yesterday in windowed mode and, just for checking, i monitored the temps from cpu and gpu, and the cpu got up to 80C max, being normally at low 70s... is that too hot for a core i3-330m on a samsumg laptop?? i am investigating about it and seems like it's still not close to the max (105 i think for intel) but i just bouthg the lap this weekend and its on a laptop stand with a fan (a cheap stand but still better than nothing i think)...
