    Here is my Desktop for my new Laptop:
    I purchased it Used on Ebay for $275 + Shipping $15 = $290.

    Here are the specs:
    Toshiba Satellite: Intel Centrino Duo @ 1.83GHz
    Toshiba 120gb Hard Drive 5400rpm
    2 x 512mb DDR2 533 PC2 4200
    DVD Burner DVD-R /RW DL
    Biometric Touchchip Fingerprint Coprocessor
    Touch Pad w/Quick Launch Areas (Illuminated and programmable touch buttons)
    Display Adapter: Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset Family
    15.4 Wide Screen - WiFi (Intel Pro) - NIC (Intel Pro/1000) - Toshiba Software Modem - Bluetooth
    Windows XP Media Center Upgraded to Windows Vista Premium

    I Upgraded from the Toshiba 120gb HD 5400rpm to a Seagate 320gb HD 7200rpm. Used Acronis True Image 11 and a Rosewill Hard Drive Adapter to Clone the Hard Drive. (Awesome Program and Adapter)
    Also Upgraded from 2 x 512mb Samsung DDR2 533 PC2 4200 to 2 x 2gb G.Skill DDR2 667 PC2 5300 4-4-4-12

    I noticed the laptop felt like it was running hot. I finally downloaded Speedfan and Core Temp to check the processor temps. Both programs were reporting 62c -63c Idle. IMO this was way too hot! So yesterday I tore apart the laptop and re-applied Arctic Silver 5 to the Processor and the Southbridge. Once done I checked the temps again with both programs and my temps were down from 62c -63c Idle to 43c-45c Idle. Almost a drop of 20 degrees Celsius! Today the temp is running between 37c - 41c Idle. Tearing apart the laptop took a lot longer than I expected but this was well worth the time spent! Can't afford to let that engine overheat!
