Buying a New Laptop-Need Advice!

[GeneralApathy]

Ivy Bridge laptops run DDR3 so the will ram will work.. Unless your running a old laptop from 2007 or before.

USB 3.0 has a build-in backwards compatible to USB 2.0. So anything you run that is USB 2.0 like a flash drive will work in USB 3.0 ports.

Alright, alright, last questions that I can see as of now! XD

So, basically, I could transplant my G.SKILL 8GB RAM to the Ivy Bridge, and then take the 6GB from there to my old laptop, seeing that they should both (hopefully) be compatible based upon the fact that they can both run the G.SKILL 8GB RAM, right?

Also, I'm reading that this laptop has 2 HDD slots. Would this mean I could insert a SSD in as well? Is there anything that I would need to do this, or is it just a simple stick-and-slide installation?
