Fax Service: I’m getting a new notebook, is the following spec good for me?
What i normally do with my computer are:
Surfing the net. yahoo Messenger. Downloading music and videos. Play on the net.
I run a lot of application at the same time (around 7-10), I run Itunes, Messenger, Mozilla Firefox, at the sametime.

Upgrade the ram to 2GB and it’ll do just fine, plain and simple. Windows XP Home isn’t so much a memory hog as Vista is, so 1GB will be ok. But considering you lose 128MB to the Graphics chip plus the programs running in the background, you’ll be running low on free memory.
