• You must purchase a CPU if you want us to apply Artic Silver 5 or IC Diamond.

The most popular type of thermal compound has been silver suspended in silicone grease for quite a while. A new thermal grease demonstrates a superior type of thermal compound using diamond. Purified synthetic diamond has a thermal conductivity of 2,000-2,500 W/mK compared to 406-429 W/mK for pure silver. Diamond’s five times better thermal conductivity compared to silver makes it a superior heat transfer material for cooling high performance CPUs.

Another nice advantage with diamond is that it is not electrically conductive. Silver based compounds will conduct electricity which makes a sloppy application of the compound a risk for shorting out your expensive hardware.
 

Here is a testing result from http://www.amdzone.com/index.php/reviews/cooling/7993

• 4GB or more memory requires 64bit OS.
• 1333Mhz Memory Module will be running at 1066MHz if your CPU is one of the following:
  1. Intel Core i7-620M
  2. Intel Core i5 or Core i3
  
  *1333Mhz Memory Module can be running at any speed under 1333Mhz including 1066Mhz but 1066Mhz memory module cannot be running at speed over 1066Mhz. So the advantage to use the 1333Mhz memory module if your CPU is 1066Mhz is that you can upgrade your CPU in the future without replacing your memory. Because the 1333Mhz memory module price is almost the same as 1066Mhz memory module, so we choose 1333Mhz instead of 1066Mhz in the system configurations.

SSD Drive Comparison:

*The read/write speed posted here are claimed by the manufacturer. The actual speed may be varied.

*Crucial C300 series SSD is SATA III and II compatible. Because this notebook does not support SATA III, so it will be accessed as SATA II if you use this drive. The read/write speed on the above chart is for SATA II.

You can choose one or more hard drives in your computer:

1. One hard drive: No RAID function if you choose one hard drive only.

2. Two hard drives: You can choose RAID 0, RAID 1, or Disable if you don't want any RAID. Please choose the same size of hard drives if you want to use RAID.

3. Three Hard Drives:

• You can choose RAID 0 or RAID 5 for all 3 hard drives.
• RAID 0 or RAID 1 for the first 2 hard drives and no RAID for the 3rd hard drive.

If you are not familiar with RAID, please click here

*The hard drive size will be changed in the OS if you choose RAID.

Here is an example for the size change:

• You have 3 100GB hard drives:

1. For RAID 0, The system will show one 300GB hard drive.

2. For RAID 1: Because RAID 1 can only handle 2 hard drives, so you can only use RAID 1 for the first 2 hard drives and leave the 3rd hard drive independently. The system will show one 100GB hard drive for the RAID 1 and one 100GB normal hard drive.

3. For RAID 5: The system will show one 200GB hard drive.
