Thank you too Nostradamus for your reply.....usually AMD processors run a little hot, so yours have no issues, I was even considering if the laptop gets hot putting a one of dose cooling laptop plates that go underneath but I guess may not be necessary.
My Daughter has a Dell Laptop I3 with 2 gigs of ram, do you think running W7 Home will be sufficient for Kodi....I would just install the system & and kodi, nothing more?
