I recently obtained a Dell 1564 Core i5 from the Outlet Store for £349inc .
It runs W7 (64x). It came with a rather measly 3gb of PC8500 (1066mhz) DDR3. Storage is certainly not an issue as i use quite large offboard storage stacks.
Given that other than the operating and security systems the only programs installed that i use regularly are iTunes, Convert X, MakeMKV, Photoshop and a few other tiny apps i feel i could comfortably operate on a small (64gb) SSD much like the very popular current Crucial 300.
Would i be better spending £120 on an SSD OR as much RAM as i can afford?
Thanks
Steven
