The laptop is a Dell 6500 with an core i7M and a 400m series GPU. If it breaks it's covered under the Dell warranty we have. So I'm not really worried about it. I also have a MacBook pro for work and it is only used for work nothing else.
Try to find you a cooler they run on a USB plug and really do work, surprised me.
I'll check it out, but I mainly use this on the go. And I doubt that a 120sp ATI card would do much in terms of folding performance anyways, so I don't want to risk baking it.
