I have a HP laptop. It's config was AMD Turion, 2.5 GB Ram, Nvidia Geforce 8 Series GFX cards and all.. The graphics card heated up so much that it melted the stuff in the motherboard. Had to replace mother board to a stupid processor and stupider GFX card..... I HATE HP.



Anyway thanks for help. I tried to configure Dell Inspiron 15 at their website. but can't change ram or anything. can i config it to my choice if i go to the shop ???

No, you can modify only online.. if you approach a shop too, the shopowner will configure and buy for you.. it takes a week or two to be assembled and brought... you can also try dell xps (as u like dell more)
