hi guys, i'm a noob here. i've been reading alot here, and this forum is awesome!
anyway, i have dell 9300 17inch(pentium M 1.73) with 512 ddr2 ram. i bought it last october.
i do lots of webdesign, photoshop, and play civilization 4 occasionaly. because i only have 512 ram, it's very slow on both.
my question is should i upgrade my memory to 2gb or just ditch my computer and get a different laptop like acer 5672?
my computer is about $700 on ebay and 2gb memory upgrade costs about $200.
i really like the acer 5672, and it's $899 on compusa online with $300 mail in rebate. so money is about the same. i like 17 inch screen and 2gb would be a huge help for what i do. and it's only 9 months old. it was da sh!t back then.
but at the same time, i'm tempted to get a core duo at a reasonable price.
what should i do? i just can't decide.
