    I didn't want to upgrade the ram for 80 to 2GB because that is ripoff.

    I am looking of installing 4GB into this machine, which would you guys recommend me from newegg.com?

    Also what is the noise level on the 100GB HDD? Thanks guys

    Pickup what RAM is cheap and has a lifetime warranty. Pretty much anything will work and performance differences will be non existant. There is a RAM Deals guide over in the Hot Deal forum you can check out with current links in it

    Cool. I just bought 4GB (2 x 2GB) of Gskill for $85.00. Lenovo is ridiculous for wanting $350 for it.
