[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 852381, member: 97843"] yes, it can, only if your computer reaches the maximum amount of ram you have though. If you 2gb and on average, you only use about 1.4gb, the upgrade will not cause the heat to decrease. If you use the whole 2gb, all the time, for memory intensive apps, a memory spike will occur which heats up the ram, then harddrive is used as ram, that causes more heat because the hard drive has to be spun faster than it already is. In that case, the memory will help heat issues as well as battery depletion issues. [/QUOTE]
