Dell 9300: How does this look?
Hi, am about to order a Dell 9300. Just wondering how this looks.
Intel® Pentium® M Processor 730 (1.60 GHz/2MB Cache/533MHz FSB)
1Yr Ltd Warranty, 1Yr Mail-In Service, and 1Yr Technical Support
Add CompleteCare Accidental Damage Svc to 1Yr Lim Warranty
17 inch UltraSharp™ Wide Screen UXGA Display with TrueLife™
256MB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz 1 Dimm
60GB 7200rpm Hard Drive
24X CD Burner/DVD Combo Drive
128MB ATIs™ Mobility Radeon™ X300
9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery (80 WHr)
Intel® PRO/Wireless 2915 Internal Wireless (802.11 a/b/g, 54Mbps)
total price w/tax + shipping: $1,419.55
I will be using this mostly for poker + recording TV w/a Hauppauge USB PVR in my apartment, and for web browsing/etc in the library/in class. Of course, I'll be adding 1 GB+ RAM from Crucial. I went w/the 128MB ATI Radeon X300 video card instead of 64 MB, does that matter if I won't be doing any heavy gaming (only poker + recording TV)? Also, is the 9-cell 80 WHr battery worth it (extra $79)? And is there anything else worth adding/changing?
