BTW- I ordered 2 gigs of RAM with my system but wanted to upgrade to 4 gigs. I was shocked when I did a google search to find I could buy 1 GIG sticks of PC2 5300 DDR2 SDRAM for just $ 17.99 each!!! For about forty bucks including sales tax and shipping I got my 2 gigs of RAM. I had thought I was just looking for a future upgrade but that price was too good to pass up.
After reading good things about AMD's dual core chips I took the plunge and got the AMD 64x2 5000+ dual core processor rather than the Intel ones.
The laptop I bought last spring has an Intel dual core processor and it is fine but I think for the money that AMD chip was a good deal. I plan on using this system for Video and Audio editing almost exclusively and that processor does well with those tasks from what I have read.
I also am anxious to get to try out Vista Premium since my laptop only has Vista basic and it is pretty much XP only with things moved to unfamilar places. At least with Vista Premim you get the cool transparent layers from what I understand.
