    OK, so here's my question. I've been so set on buying the HP DV9543CL laptop from Costco for a while now.

    However, a few minutes ago, I found out that if I bought a 9500t from the HP website, I could eventually expand the memory from 2GB to 4GB.

    Would I be smarter to get the custom-built lappy? I'm not an intensive gamer but somehow, it seems like a good idea that I could expand the memory if I chose to.

    Thanks! :D

    Do you need 4 GB of RAM? It sounds like that the performance limit on that notebook is established by the GPU.

    I honestly don't know that I do. I think that perhaps I'm being seduced by the idea that I COULD upgrade if I chose. :D

    Please consider this thread closed. I realized I really DON'T need that much RAM and am sticking with my original lappy choice. :D
