sounds like a pretty nice setup - good call on all fronts FitzBilleh Smilie

yeah, i did, really pushed up the price but i'm trying to justify it by the fact that it's benefiting AIDS charities

Did you get the pretty chemistry cover?

all ordered FitzBilleh Smilie it better last now for the amount of money i've spent on it FitzBilleh Smilie. Went with a deal offering the i5-430 processor and 4GB RAM, 500GB hard drive, 512MB ATI-Radeon graphics card for £529 - seemed the best deal overall

How much does it cost? You may as well get the ram if it's cheap, it just makes it less likely for the computer to slow to a crawl if you've got loads of stuff running...

one more laptop-based question - is it worth upgrading from 3GB to 4GB RAM, considering i'll be using Windows 7 (1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM in both cases)?

I'm rocking out an i5 at the moment FitzBilleh Smilie All Lynnfield cpu's are 2.5G plus 4-core processors and fairly chunky L2 and L3 caches.

does anyone know anything about the new Intel chips (the i-series, i3, i5, i7) and how they compare to the Dual Core and Core-2 processors?

so i'm quite tempted to get a Dell studio as then I can get this cover
