    I'm pretty set on the FW but i had a couple of questions before I order...first of all, is there any point in going for 4 GB of RAM instead of three? I thought that vista could only handle 3 anyway. Secondly, would the processor upgrade to the 2.4 or 2.53 or 2.8 significantly improve system performance? and finally, how portable is it? is it comparable to the sr or sz or fz? can you "hold it in one hand with ease?" thanks a lot!

    Vista 64 bit can handle more than 4 GB of RAM, 32 bit only uses 3GB. Related to portability it is 16" machine and it is desktop replacement.
