Am I correct to understand that anything more than 3GB of RAM is wasted unless you're running Vista?
Rene L. Stephenson ----- Original Message ---- From: Dov Isaacs <[email protected]> The 8710w is a fantastic system. Omit the BlueRay drive and the cost isn't particularly bad. And if you take care of it and can get four years of service out of it (typically what I get out of my notebook systems), the extra cost per day compared to el'cheapo configurations is really minimum. Oh, BTW, I would not recommend XP on the 8710w given its fairly "new" peripherals that are not particularly well supported under Vista. (Also, multiple core / multiple core processors are better utilized by Vista than Windows XP!) - Dov
