| well this will be for my flatmate, it'll need a good amount of ram so everything runs smoothly. though i imagine that i'll need to upgrade that myself since they still ship budget laptops with only 256 shocking!! |

| to get more than 256 MB of ram for £350 is nigh on impossible for a new machine. In total it would have to be at least £400. You could get one second hand but they are normally even more than new ones as people havent caught on to how cheap new ones are now. Dedham dedham |
