i recently purchased a 9300 and am awaiting its arrival.

go with the cheapest RAM option and upgrade it yourself.
go with the cheapest HD and upgrade yourself to 7200 rpm.

that is what i have done, but i upgraded the video card to the 128MB x300.

but i believe both can drive an external 2001FP, but you should have someone else verify this.

my final price shipped was just under 900.
