    It's my turn for a "Buying a new Laptop" thread

    Yeah, I currently work with 1GB and I know that more is always best - the $750 coupon was great because it allowed me to go for 2GB. Of course, I didn't upgrade everything to the fullest: I went with the 533MHz over the 667MHz because upgrading to the 2GB/533MHz was $350 more and the...

    It's my turn for a "Buying a new Laptop" thread

    Just when I thought I had a Dell all speced out, a co-worker introduced me to Alienware and I'm in LOVE! :D Now, while I realize that I may be going a little overboard, I wanted to see if you guys think I'm absolutely nuts. ;) Originally I had picked out a Dell Inspiron with these details...
