Sometimes you can also find one or two components that will save you substantial money. You could spec out a Dell and put very little RAM in it, then buy the RAM from NewEgg. That gives you a machine you didn't have to assemble, you just have to swap out the memory yourself, which is pretty easy to do. I mentioned previously that my new laptop will be a Mac. I plan on buying it with minimum RAM because buying pre-installed memory upgrades from Apple is WAY more pricey than buying it yourself. -Cameron . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
