Hi,
I'm buying a new DELL computer. The computer is to run a wide range of business applications (OUTLOOK, EXCEL, WORD) and do some quantitiative analysis (MATLAB).
The main thing I do is run lots of applicaitons at a time, and I want to be able to quickly switch around from application to application without too much lag.
I don't know how much RAM I should buy. Money is not an issue, i.e. I'll spend whatever I need to in order to improve performance. But I don't want to waste any money. Can you guys give me any advice about which one of the choices below I should choose? Are these choices ok?
Thanks a lot!
