    Hello!

    I'm new at this forum and registered to ask a few questions.

    I am planning to purchase a S4XP here in Finland. I would like to know a few things. I have seen many of the S4XP specs and i have noticed that the hard drive on the computer should be 100Gb. So I'm a little confused about the info on this page.

    http://shop.sonystyle-europe.com/SonyStyle/b2c/readshop.do?nextExecute=/catalog/z_InitShopISAEntry.do&redirected=true&servername=www.sonystyle-europe.com&z_Forward=setDefCatalog2&campaignId=LOG04NAVEU&countryId=GB&SonyForward=DeepLinkQuery&s=external&ss=home&shopId=SST_GB_EN

    As you can see the hard drive is 100Gb total. It says 100 GB (Serial ATA 2*50 GB, 5400 rpm) hard disk drive!!!???

    Other new and bigger Sony Vaio models have a single 100Gb hard disk.

    So which is true??? The 2*50Gb or single 100Gb drive??
    And if it is 2*50Gb could I change the other drive to a bigger one, like one standard 50Gb plus a new 80Gb hard disk?

    My other question is that could the S4XP support 533Mhz DDR2 RAM.

    I know it will support 2Gb of RAM so I was thinking that could I upgrade the standard 1Gb of 400-DDR2 to 2GB 533Mhz DDR2???
