3) Is there any disadvantage of going overboard with memory? I am
contemplating putting 2Gb in the machine (I am going to order it from the US
and so far it looks like a 512Mb stick here (cost price + 5%) could buy you
over 1.5Gb of exactly the same RAM there (full retail) - same manufacturer
and all...). -

Could you give us (i.e. the list) further details on this as I find it
rather hard to believe that a price diffeence could be so great given the
strength of the Aussie dollar and the shipping charges involved. (A URL to
the site you are purchasing fromwould be handy).
