What do you need a second opinion on?

"one more thing I have been googling and searching for days but on the model I showed you I cant see if It supports dual harddrives or 8gb memory it has 4 stock so please someone I need your help"

The answer was on the manufacturer's website. It's typically the first Place I go for accurate specifications On anything.

Here's the spec sheet:

http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=os...=specifications


8gb memory = NO
dual hard drives = YES

Personaly I would spend a few more $ to get the HP DV7T or Dell XPS M1730. The 1GB Radeon 4860 in the HP has higher scores than the 130M in the Acer. The M1730 has SLI graphics with Physics available. Both the HP & the Dell support 2-drive raid and 8gb memory. They are even available already setup with those options...

The HDX18T is nice, but to configure it the way you want, it will probably cost you $1900 or more.

Laptops can be overclocked using software sometimes, but it is usualy not worth it, as it kills battery life and makes more heat than the tiny coolers can handle.
