what's the best laptop cooler to get

[Pepsei]

I'm looking to get a laptop cooler for my Dell 600.

ever since i upgraded the harddrive and added another gig of memory, it gets overheated like crazy when I play games like Vampire on it.

any suggestions?

You know, I never understood how/if laptop coolers work. Unless you can get the fans on the laptop cooler to be placed directly under the CPU intake vents, can a laptop cooler really help?

I bought a laptop cooler because my laptop would overheat and restart/lock up on me. Turns out all I had to do was blow compressed air into the CPU intake vents. I actually took the heatsink off of my CPU and brushed the dust from the vents, but you can try using compressed air.

Antec's got a laptop cooler. It's fairly large in size but it's got 2 fans and is powered by USB. Works well. My friend's got one.
