I got a dell 640m recently and its just been a brilliant notebook PC... 1 GB of RAM 14.1" screen 120 GB HardDrive Running XP Home 8x DVD Burner/Writer/Reader It's funny because while the higher end models look better in some ways it doesn't matter because unless you are doing heavy duty gaming, graphic development or programming you don't need them... but they sure are nice to look at! :D Luc Hi Jake,

It’s funny because while the higher end models look better in some ways it doesn’t matter because unless you are doing heavy duty gaming, graphic development or programming you don’t need them… but they sure are nice to look at! :D
