Re: i9300 question
I would strongly suggest to get 1gb of RAM right now, and 7200rpm hard drive, since you gonna capture video and move files around - any increase of HD speed is going to be noticeable.

Re: i9300 question
Most of HDz that Dell is putting in right now are WD's Scorpio 5400 RPM, they have a little wistling sound, to hear it you have to put yer ear on the top of the bezel and close yer eyes with yer right foot without taking it off the ground, only then it might be oudiable.

Re: i9300 question
Yeah, and don't bother getting 1 gig of RAM from Dell, (well unless you wish them to prosper as I do) but give your money to NewEgg or somethnig like that. We need competition.

Re: i9300 question
pron... i mean conan o'brien and maybe Leno if I don't stay up that late
I think I'll buy a gig of ram from newegg, Dell prospered enough from my last dimension desktop purchase..hehe
I think I'll stick with the 80gb 5400 rpm one :budget: :budget: Dell charges an extra $300 for 7200 rpm
I might have to wait for the next batch of dell coupons, this one is ending real soon and I don't have money in my bank account atm

Re: i9300 question
Well at least you won't have to wait very long. They've been issuing 750 coupon for the past few months now. Once these expired, we will get a new batch for the following week.

Re: i9300 question
I have left mine on in it's case a few times so it ran until the battery died and it didn't hurt it. so i don't think overheating is a reason not to leave it on.

Re: i9300 question
One thing I noticed with mine is that the dust and stuff gets stuck in there quickly. I blew mine out after about 3 months and a significant amount of dust came out. It costs almost nothing to do that periodically so I will probably do it every couple of months. I have left mine on for 24 hours with no ill effect but the insides are clean.
