I recently upgraded to 2GB. I used Kingston brand memory that I bought from Bestbuy. Computer works fine, except now it gets so hot after 15 or 20 minutes of use. Would installing "GSkill" memory be a better option? I used Kingston brand because that's what is in my desktop and I've never had a problem. While using it in my Dell 10v I didn't notice a big jump in performance so I may put the original back in. (May upgrade to Windows 7 at a later date, so I would like the increased memory). Using Windows 7 RC now. |

I think my 10v is slightly warmer with the Kingston HyperX as well, but I am not sure if it is hurting performance or not. Using the GSkill with heatsink may be something to consider, but I am going to continue using my current setup for now and see how things work out.

My Dell is too hot. I shut it down because I'm afraid of burning something. I'll just use the original memory for now. I'm gathering parts for my desktop rebuild. That comes first. |

Mine gets insanely hot. It all depends on what you're doing. The more CPU intensive or disk intensive you are being, the hotter it will get. Doesn't matter if it's 2 GB or 1 GB. Triple Boot Guide - 10v RAM Upgrade Videos - mechdrew's OSX guides |

I've also started wondering about putting some heat sink compound pads on the indentations between the keyboard and the metal bracket that sits above the CPU/GPU/RAM area. Would it help dissipate the heat more or is the aluminum below the keyboard already moving all the heat it can?  |
