Memory, HD and DVDburner for Inspiron E1505.

I'm ordering my E1505 and need to know the difference between the 2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHZ, 2 DIMM and the 2GB DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHZ, 2 DIMM - which will cost $50 more. I'll have the Core2Duo T5600, Vista Home Premium, and I think the 160GB 5400 SATA HD (but I'm not sure about that decision either). Please advise what the difference will be between the 2 options... Any other suggestions or tips/tricks for the E1505 would be appreciated, too! Also, how do I know what brand of DVD+RW drive I'm getting? I've heard

    Oops... I've heard that there is a huge difference between the performance and reliablility of different DVD/RW burners. What's the deal with the standard burner and why aren't there any options?

    The extra cost RAM is slightly faster. You won't know what DVD writer you get until you receive the system - Dell sources them from many suppliers, and you'll get what they have in stock when your system is assembled.

    I use Belarc Advisor. It's a free program that will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about what's inside your computer. A top notch program.

    I went with the 100GB 7200 rpm HD over the 160GB 5400...speed over storage. Unless you really need the extra space. As 7200 rpm drives get bigger I'll upgrade in the future, since the HD is really easy to replace.

    Hi
     
    if you want a real machine, dont get the e1505, istead go for the 6400. Better equipment and far more tested. check cnet magazine forums..they recomended as the best small bussiness laptop there is so far
     
    enjoy

    Your insane. The 1505 and the 6400 use the same components.
