HP and Dell, even though i dell, have much better ad campaigns focus more on the strengths of their machines rather than the supposed weaknesses of their competitors. It almost feels like a political race. You have the one candidate that would rather keep things positive, then theres the candidate who wants to tear every moral fiber of their opponent, which i feel makes them more immoral than their victim.<br /> <br /> oops, this kinda turned into a rant.

For that price I would want (2) 1GB sticks. They want $300 dollars for (4) 512mb of memory, thats way too expensive. For that price I would want (2) 1GB sticks.
