Hi Jackie Yes I can get the extra gb of ram for £50 on top of the price of the laptop which isn't too bad, I think £75 got me the extra 2 gb but I think 3 gb would be enough??

If, however, you have the opportunity to have 3GB, I would go for it.

I am interested in the toshiba equium 210, does any body use this laptop? What is it like? I am also seriously looking at the toshiba satellite 300d, this has 2 gb ram and if I order it I will upgrade to 3 gb of ram, is 2 gb sufficient to run vista and hal and all my other programs? Would I be better with the 3 gb? Lastly, being in France, not many companies over here will supply me with a laptop with english keyboard or windows. Therefore I have to purchase from the UK. I know of play.com, laptops direct and pcworld, would you guys be able to recommend some other companies to me please.
