Would it be fatal for the laptop to overclock w/out opening the casing? the temp will increase approx how much in degree?
Anyone here sells / knows how to get charger + adapter for this model? and how much?

plus. 64 bit os remove the 2 gb barrier. 32 bit os only allow 2gb ram usage per apps/games even if u hv 3gb/4gb(3gb on 32 bit...)

Its quite hard to get stock for K50AB, you need to order to get it; if you're lucky.
