Since I'm planning on ordering a machine from Dell with only 256 Megs of RAM, what's the best RAM I can get to put in to a 9300?
All of the companies I've seen seem to offer lifetime warranties so durability isn't really an issue, but I would like something that is cool (temperature wise) and cheap. Thanks for the help.

Crucial (http://www.crucial.com/) is generally considered to be the best RAM for your notebook. If price is a major concern, however, check out this from newegg.com: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820208024 The Transcend is what I plan to use (assuming all goes according to plan with our household computer swap).

I like Crucial as well, though Kingston and Corsair are decent options too.
