I'll be purchasing a Lenovo 3000 N100 in the next week or so. It'll have the following specs:

Intel Core Duo T2300 1.66GHz
XP Professional
14.1" VibrantView TFT Screen
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
80GB, 5400rpm Serial ATA
8x DVD-R
Modem/Ethernet/ABG/Bluetooth

Should I choose 512Mb or 1GB of RAM? It's $90 more for the extra RAM, so I'm not worried about the price, too much. But, I'm not buying the notebook, it's a present from my parents, so I'd like to keep their cost as low as possible.

Programs that I'll be running:
Office Professional - including Access
Quickbooks
Internet
No hard core (Sims, Doom, etc) gaming - only internet and standard games
I am considering upgrading to Vista when available.

Any advice is great. Thanks:)

I chatted with tech support and the tech guy ended up recommending that I change from a VGA connection to a DVI connection. However, this can be costly and am wondering if there is another way. We tried changing the Hertz rate at different resolutions but no change. Do I need a new graphics card by any chance? The PC is about four years old and is 1.3 Ghz with XP Home Edition on it. Tried calling tech support but was put into voicemail that someone would call back within 24 hours. Well no one has of course. So what could be some things to test out or check?

I have cable internet, so my IP address is always the same. If I release my IP, then renew it, it's still the same.

How do I change it?
