from what I can gather in my reading on this particular computer, having the 4gb of ram would have necessitated a different motherbaord.
So the 2gb extra ram + the different motherboard to handle it would have been the extra $1000.
I was messing with my comp last night and realized that I only had 5gb of hard drive space left. yikes!!!
Did some cleaning, moved some stuff to my external hard drive, and I am sitting at 32 gb free now, and if I get a couple vid projects done that are just sitting there, I can open up another 30 gb...
video is harsh on the hard drive space man, lol.
