    OK, I'm a newbie at this. Been running/fixing desktops for years but never played with laptops. Just bought a Toshiba, like the title say and would like some pointers on what I should buy to upgrade the RAM and the HD. What kind of specs should I look for both the RAM and HD. I know it use DDR2 SDRAM but I'm not sure that any DDR2 SDRAM would fit. Same for HD, it now has a 80GB 5400RPM SATA drive but can I just buy any 250GB 2.5in SATA and I'm in business? OK I know maybe, I mess up by not buying the pc with all the right features in the first place but...it's done

    Also if I could , I would get rid of Vista and install XP pro instead. Does anyone who done it can provide some sort of a tutorial of the procedures and links to drivers because I think, from what I've read, that it's not a simple swap and it seems that I'm not the only one wanting XP instead of Vista. Once done you could make it a sticky
