    So does the 8400 GS in the Vostro 1400 have GDDR3 or DDR2 ram?

    think for yourself..
    there's no DDR2 witch can run at least 2x700mhz so it HAS TO BE DDR3. ;)

    btw. some ppl are trying to do a CPU MOD on T5470 to make muliplier higher than 8 :)
    so there is hope that users of T5470 after some integration into CPU could have 2ghz on the clock ;)

    Has anyone tested battery life after overclocking? Is the decrease significant?
