    hey guys, I'm about to order my m1539 in next day or 2. when I look over the part I got a few questions, for

    1. memory, I'm planning just to get 1GB for free a pair of corsair 4GB will these work?

    2. wireless mini card, if I get wireless-N does it mean I wont get wireless a/g? and which one is better, dell brand or intel?

    3. screen, I've read that LG is are the good screens. anyway I can make sure that I get it?

    1) You can buy the 4Gb but you'll be only be able to use 3.xGb's or so due to the 32bit OS.

    2) Using a Dell N-wireless card you can also pick up on b/g networks.

    3) No there is no way to specify which screen you get before hand.

    1. yes

    2. get the Intel card-- N is backward compatible with a,g,b

    3. you may be able to increase your chances with selecting a 1440x900, but you cannot specify the manufacturer of the LCD panel

    2. definitely get the Intel card - i have another laptop with the Dell wireless N and it always drops my internet connection.

    personally i wouldn't go for SB HD audio - from what I've heard it doesn't make the slightest difference and it's just more software to have to install/run..


    the rest looks awesome!
