    Hey guys. Reading through the forums I see that people recommend getting the lowest RAM for the dell laptop and then buying more RAM from newegg and installing it. However, I wanted to know if this voids the warranty. Any idea?
    Also, I'm debating between the inspiron 6000 and the 9300. I'd definitely like to use them for gaming, so is it a no-brainer going for the 9300 with the 256mb geforce? or is the 128mb x300 that you get on the 6000 capable too? thanks!

    If you will be gaming, go with the 9300. Sure the card is better but the screen is also larger.
