By setting the Power Management to High performance , there appears to be a big improvement with all these problems ( though still not perfect ) . I take it from this that the Power Management actually affects the constant operation , and not only hibernate , sleep and the like . Something like a desktop with a too small power supply ? Is this in fact , the case ? If so , has the extra 1GB memory (over the initial 1GB ) required more power ? Does this mean that the sticks are faulty in demanding too much power , or possibly , this is not normal for a laptop , and it itself has some inherent problem .

I would be interested in what you laptop experts think of all this .
