    Hi,
    My names Scott, I've just bought the following machine, running Win 7 64 Bit:
    Dell Vostro 3700 i5-430M 17" 320GB 4GB 1GB nVidia GT330M

    My questions relate to the included ESata/USB combo ports and to the maximum memory I can run.

    First off, using the esata combo port, is this a "p" type port that will supply power to a 3.5" SATA drive ex. internal.

    Secondly, from what I can find on the internet, the maximum RAM I can put in this machine is 8GB, despite it being a 64bit o/s. Is it really true that on this machine the most I can put in it is 8GB?!! I was planning on putting twice that in it....

    If someone in the know can clear this up for me, especially the last question, that would be really appreciated! Thanks :)
    Scott.
