Making the most of my 8600

[Yudha]

Well, I have the Dell Inspiron 8600 (unfortunately, with the GeForce FX Go 5650)... and I've got some questions (which are probably quite basic given my lack of familiarity with notebooks):

-What type of RAM do I purchase for the 8600? And how much money for how much memory is considered a 'good deal'?

-Is it possible to get my GPU upgraded to the Radeon 9600?

Thanks for your time, everyone.

Ram: www.crucial.com

GPU: Possibly.... not sure. I have heard there are over heating issues though. Check out the Dell forums.

go to www.newegg.com
and buy a stick of pc2700 ram
I bought a stick of 512
I think it was $90 shipped.
not bad at all! WOOO works great. Is it possible to upgrade your video card? Yes it is, but I do not know where they sell the 9600 part.
