    I got the laptop like 4 months ago, and it is working great till now but I am have some hardware issues. Like battery finishes quickly (2.5 hours), and the laptop heats quickly. If I upgrade the laptop with an extra 256 DDR RAM (comes with 256DDR RAM ready) will the laptop battery last much longer and will the heat become low?

    and please someone explain to me whats the difference between DDR and SD RAM... thanx
