I'm specing a new laptop, probably a Dell XPS 17, with an i7 processor. It will have an SSD and be driving 2 monitors.
The XPS 17s come in two varieties, one with 2 DIMM slots and the other with 4 DIMM slots. - I do a ton of browsing for research purposes and may have as many as 20 Firefox sessions open at one time. - I use Thunderbird with mail accounts with more than 100K messages in them. - I do some software development in Eclipse with gcc. Compile times can be lengthy on some projects. - I use Digikam to manage and edit all my Nikon D7000 images, which are shot in raw - I want to get into editing D7000 video files - I want to get into 3D CAD. How much RAM do I reasonably require ? Is it worth paying more for 4 DIMM sockets over 2 ?
