First time post here, but I've been reading and learning for about 6 months now. You all have helped a lot in making this desicion, so thanks a lot!

Should be a pretty big inprovement from my last computer- a AMD 2000 destop with 256mB of RAM, and a 32 mB intergrated video card.

Oh, 2 questions for all of you- What Brand of RAM do you recomend? I'm thinking of going with OCZ. As well, e1505 owners, what kind of bag do you have? I'm looking at Crumpler, what do you have/recomend?

Thanks!
