Hey, I'm going to purchase an HP Pavillion ze5300 notebook. I want this thing stacked, so I'm going to throw in the most RAM it can take, which is two separate 512 MB DDR SDRAM. It's going to cost me $450 or something ridiculous to have them upgrade it from what is the base RAM, so I'm thinking about ordering it with the stripped down RAM (two 128s) and purchasing two 512s (possibly generic?) and putting them in.
Is this a good idea (I can obviously save some cash)? Will this adversely affect my performance? Any suggestions on where to get this RAM for the cheapest?
