    I'm getting my new laptop today, but I'm still waiting on the shipment with the 2nd GB of RAM. Would benchmark programs be severely impacted if I ran them with only 1 GB as opposed to 2 GB?

    Thanks,
    night

    Why not run them twice and see for yourself? More than likely, they won't be impacted much. But it's possible. No harm in running them.
