    Are you sure about the 8GB max RAM? All the product specs state 4 GB RAM max. 8 gig limit would be a nice plus.

    You also have to buy a bracket to get your hard drive to fit in the bay. I know David has the link.

    Yes, I'm sure. Some folks have tested it and the BIOS fully recognizes all 8GB of ram.

    It's running at 800MHz, or more accurately 798MHz. It's 399.0*2
