    Customized a Dell XPS m1530:

    • 1GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz (2 Dimms) 1GB2D

    With the deal dell has right now, it prices out to 1199. I figured I would just buy more RAM and a different HDD on my own. Not real knowledgeable when it comes to laptops, is this a good price for the specs? Appreciate any input. Thanks...

    Yeah, i would say thats a pretty good deal. I would remove the Audigy Software though, its a waste of money. Everything else looks good.
