    It does show up but if you have a 32bit os you can only use ~3gigs.

    Yeah that's normal.

    EDIT: Congrats on the purchase btw, can't wait for my m1530 to arrive :)

    what should my graphics card get to usually without gaming?

    i get 68c then the fan kicks in and brings it to like 60. is that ok, seems high

    what should it hit while gaming?

    I wonder if receiving the extras is an American thing. I got the leather case for my computer manual, case for the laptop, and headphones. However, many who are from out of the country are reporting that they are not receiving the leather case and headphones. Just dumb luck? mmmmm.. :(
