Got me a new laptop

well i finally bout my laptop. its on its way right now. thanks to everyone who helped me out. the only down side to it is that is only has 128 mb ram. im looking for a place or site where i can buy some ram cheap. im thinking of going up to 512, or maybe even 1024 if the price is right. anyone know any good places to get some?

Would you put Pep Boys 4 for $99 tires on your CL? Don't buy cheap RAM. Crucial.com sells good stuff.

I just bought mine at Office Depot, handy and pretty cheap. Have never had any trouble with it. Unless you are doing some hard core graphics or gaming 512mb should be enough. Running Windows XP or NT I seldom get above 400MB in use.

Aight check this out.

last night i came home and turned on my desktop pc, and the damn monitor blew up. its a 19-inch triton and its only 2 years old. i turned it on and it flickered a few times, then this loud pop sound came from it and smoke came out the back. im glad i got a new comp coming on the way.
