    No there is only one configuration and it is always soldered on. You should try to force yourself into believing that 667mhz and 533mhz are one in the same, because it basically is. All gimmicks and marketing talk. If you choose to continue to believe there is a difference and base everything off of it, I can't really do anything to stop you...

    Well, you could say that if you could physically tell the difference between 533 and 667, then you can probably feel earthquakes before they happen as well...... The W7 is certainly a little powerhouse, but the speed of the ram onboard isn't going to slow you down. I could see wishing it was 1gb instead of 512mb, but overall, the difference between maxing out at 1.5gb instead of 2gb is borderline ridiculous in itself due to the use of a system of that size. The soldered chips, as I've said before are not there for no reason at all. They're there for size and location restrictions. It's not certainly not a reason say... not to get a W7 though if you are thinking that.
