    Hey,

    If it is within the constraints of your budget, I'd suggest upgrading your screen and your Hard drive. Given that this will be your main machine for a while, I think that you will really enjoy having made those upgrades (especially the screen).

    Is there a reason you have the 2x4GB setup instead of the 4X2GB setup?
