The difference between 8 and 24 is huge, I have 20 in my 755cs, and it runs
win95 great.  I recall a PCMag test that showed 16 as the sweet spot, going
up to 16 dramatically increased performance, adding more was less dramatic.

How's the 560?  I'm drooling, that's going to be my next 'pad :)

How is it for heat compared to older 'pads?
