MediaMonkey is VERY powerful if you can understand its complexity. If you havent figured out you can actually fine tune the auto conversion settings by going to tools > options > portable devices> find your device> configure > auto-convert.

i cant wait to see the power requirements

there is a small chance you may need a small nuclear reactor to operate

For my movie watchers i HIGHLY recommend you guys used MediaPlayer Classic rather than VLC. VLC is great and everything but I think MediaPlayer Classic is more feature packed and is easier to use.

An overclocked 560 got a higher 3dmark score than my 570. Granted mine isnt overclocked. But its just something to think about if you're trying to decide btw the two

You can use more ram on 64 bit than 32 bit. There are more benefits but that's a major one. 32 bit limits you to <4gigs

most average users don't even touch 4GBs of ram.

but to answer your question, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946765

should help out.

and if i remember correctly, the more ram you have.. the harder it is to reach a stable high OC.

[cwrite78]

battery life will be crappy.

but these laptops are really seeing as desktop replacements. so, it'll most likely always be plugged in. so, take that into consideration if you're looking at it.
