If it's going to be your only computer I would recomend the 2.0 too. I'm still paying the thing off so I haven't upgraded my ram but for regular normal use the 512 works well. I …

i too would go with the middle model and upgrade the ram from newegg or outpost (80 bucks for a gig usually). i dont think the hard drive space is THAT necessary for college use, …

Well, if you are on a budget I would also suggest getting the 1.86, sell the RAM (if you can) and get 2x1GB sticks off crucial or newegg (seem like the places to go if you live in …
