Ram is essentially the lubricant that helps the computer run smoothly. You can buy suitable RAM after market at lower cost, but this is not a place to skimp. Also be sure that the video adapter supports a resolution that gets along with your monitor.

This machine runs a bit slowly with 2GB. Are the new apps and Win7 so demanding that I need to step up by 8X? I don't have any heavy graphics work. The most I need is to display large .pdf files or solid works virtual models.

Would 8GB be "skimping"...........seriously?
