A RAM upgrade is very simple (not even 5 minutes). There is an easy access bay on the bottom of the computer, marked M. The owners manual has pictures. As for the dearth of new coupons, I have been buying Dell laptops for the past...

Buy a lock. A cheap little lock will stop most casual college thieves. Also, buy a footlocker and stick a big lock on it.

Don't worry too much about the uptight post Nazis, BTW. Every forum has a few. I just placed a similar order. The RAM will come as 2X256, but as you say, for $200 you can buy 2X1GB from newegg. It's a nice machine, I'm sure you'll...
