I currently use XP and I thought that maybe I could get other OS. Performance is most important for me because my laptop heats up fast and has about 93°C when playing Heroes Of Newerth on XP <.< and maximum °C is 100. So should I stick with XP(32bit) or change my OS?

Any specific reasons why exactly Windows 7?

DX11 (meaning you can fully use your GPU).
Pretty much thesame speed as XP as well as better handling of resources.

In any case, get a cooler like Sakumo said.

I was told that it is impossible to add anything for laptops <.<

Did you try making sure the vents have proper airflow?

marcipaans · 08-14-2009, 11:16 PM

I think so

I don't know much about computers when it comes to this stuff ._.
So maybe then any cooler recommendations too once we are at it?

Take your pick: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...&Order=REVIEWS
I don't use laptops, so I can't really recommend any coolers. And before you buy one, if you have a compressed can of air, use it to blow out the dust in your vents and fans. Hopefully, that's the reason why your laptop is running so hot.

Will Windows 7 Ultimate x64 run good on my laptop? Don't really know the general idea of those x32/64/86 >.>
