Some General Laptop Questions
Last response: in Laptops & Notebooks
I've been thinking about buying a laptop, and have noticed that companies rape you on upgrades. Is it a good idea to buy a laptop like say from Dell, Alienware, or some other company and get the minimum amount of RAM possible and then buy notebook RAM from newegg for a lot less? Its like a $350 upgrade from 512mb to 2gig. Thats $350 for 1.5gigs of RAM when from a place like newegg I can get 2gig for less than $200.
I saw at Dell its a $3000 upgrade to 4gigs of the 667mhz ram! Thats like buying a whole computer in over priced RAM.
Also, what socket is Turion X2, and does it support DDR2?

Turion X2 is AM2 socket and supports DDR2 memory.
DELL's 4 gigs of RAM is so expensive because they custom comissioned it.

The processor itself is out... something to put it in is another issue.
AMD launched this thing with NO computers to put it in. If you know the history of AMD they do this a lot.
The cost is going to be (as stated by AMD)
X2 1.8 GHz will be about $30 more than an MT-40 right now
x2 2.0 Ghz will be about $130 more.

I hope some companies can get some AM2 notebooks with turion X2 soon. I gotta order a notebook sometime in mid to late july so I can have it before college in mid August. Stinks because Merom is coming out a little to late, but Turion X2 should be just fine for games and things. Not worried about power consumption really.
