I have the basic config of a vostro 1400
T5270
2 X 5200 677
wifi n dell
bluetooth
webcam
120g hd

I hope to install red hat or centos and a have a few MS os up and not including vista
I have defaults mem of 677 - with 2 - 1 gig, shiped with unit taking both slots, I would like to upgrade this as there might be both 64 bit linix and 32 MS os's running under virtulization either red hat current version native the rest as guest, or xp host the rest as guest. I am told that xen does not support any intel under t7000 series, however sun recently acquisition of virtualbox.org does.


I would only upgrade to t7000 series cpu when it is dirt cheap,


I hope you can help in a decision I need to make:
is it worth it to buy 800 vs 667 or even faster memory that the vostro can handle saftly, what will be the fastest supported and is it worth it
thanks in advance for your help

further is their any reports of successful running redhat must current RHEL on vostro 1400 ( I have seen about fedora and audio solution, (I am not sure about wifi N driver) links to such url will be great, so I know from the start, all the get around's.
