Re: new i5 config questions

Remember a 520 only has room for "2" memory features. You can get 1gb, 
2gb, 4gb and 8gb features. You should weigh current and possible future 
memory needs with the possibility of having to throw away memory to add 
memory. While the 1gb - 4gb aren't "too" pricey, 1ea 8gb is much higher 
than 2ea 4gb features.
