For certain users I could see an improvement from 16GB of RAM, but honestly for most people I think a higher speed 8GB set would be more than enough. I got a set of Kingston 2x4GB 1866 MHz on sale from Newegg that I have been very happy with. I've noticed the system is a bit snappier and it seems to boot faster as well.

When I repasted my M14X I used some Arctic Cooling MX-2 paste I had left over from my desktop. It worked well for both my desktop and my laptop, and I'm satisfied with the results. I wish Dell had used a second vent and fan when they designed the laptop, but there is nothing we can do about it now.

With my R1 I have always run 760 core/1170 memory without issue, using MSI Afterburner as the overclock tool. This is without any BIOS mods either. I think that the overclock is more important today than ever considering the age of the GT 555M, and is almost necessary playing the newest games.

Is it possble to instal Bluray drive from M14X R2 to R1 ?
I am wondering if this would be possible as well. Even if it did work I'm sure Dell would be charging a fairly high price for it as a separate part.

Before I give this a try, can I ask what the difference between the Unlocked version of the BIOS is, compared to the other? ( M14xR1_A08_[unlocked]_voltmod_incl_GF116_&_SATA_fix.zip vs M14xR1_A08_voltmod_incl_GF116_support_&_SATA_fix.zip) Thanks for the work in making these modded BIOS files as well.
