You don't need a powerful CPU as you're not compiling anything. I prefer more RAM as these days browsers end up using most of the RAM and I prefer my system not to be sluggish and that RAM is pretty cheap, if you have DDR3. This setup gives me advantage of not having to lug around a heavy machine and it gives a better battery life than usual laptops. And it's portable than having having a desktop so I can carry it around. -- With Regards, Mehul Ved _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
