Of course you've probably already bought something by now, but....

I do pretty heavy stuff on my laptop w/ 512MB RAM; I think the Dell standard is almost always 256MB. If you were to upgrade, that would be the one and only thing, other than screen size/resolution, that you would want to spend on, imo.

That said, RAM really is most useful if you're doing a lot of entirely different applications simultaneously, or if you're running stuff with a huge memory footprint. That's when the extra helps prevent swapping out to disk. I don't think the PP software is that piggy, and having 4 tables open isn't what will chew up your RAM -- XP, Outlook, etc. are. I really wouldn't spend beyond 512MB.

Thanx for the advice.

Ill probaby try to hit the special up tommorow....though these things never work out in my experience atleast not exactly..oh well.

Hopefully ill be able to get what I need WUXGA 15.5 INCHS
with possibly 512 ram for like under a grand if it works out. Id be elated as the Dell quote was like for 1500+ which seems a little high to me, but of course that was with no coupons. I might swing by a Best Buy or whatever to get a better look at what im buying.

Thanx for all the responses guys- if you have any further input feel free.
