    1. If it is working OK then the price is good.

    2. You are likely to benefit from 2GB or 3GB RAM if you have several programs running at the same time. 4GB is unlikely to provide further benefit unless you run memory-hungry programs.

    3. Samsung's support for 64-bit is limited. There are several threads here about running 64-bit Windows on Samsung notebooks.
