I have wanted to upgrade my laptop to 2Gig of memory for a long time now. It is kind of a pain to have to turn off firefox to start up VirtualBox. If I don’t, my computer goes in to la la land (swapping to disk)… Well, the other day I was sad to have to be turning off my music (shutting down Pandora in firefox) and so I thought, hey, I will just check to see how much memory is going for these days. Boy was I shocked. First off, Dell (my laptop manufacturer) was the cheapest, that is amazing. The second surprise was that for 2Gig, shipping, handling, etc etc, the total cost was $38! That is absolutely shocking… Too bad my laptop can’t handle more than that, or I would have grabbed 4 sticks.

I will let you know, running with 2Gig is quite cushy, I am currently running both firefox AND VirtualBox, and there is still 94M available .

Make it a happy day!

Eric
