an odd question but i'm new to business and am looking to upgrade the RAM capablilty and/or the processing options of my computer. As you read I am sure i may use the wrong context and sadly can excuse this only with my ignorance. I recently purchased a dell xps m1330 and am very pleased with it. However I am simply interested in computers and trying to learn as much as possible. The computer came with a 2gb DDR2 SDRAM 677MHz (2 DIMMs) and with an intel core 2 duo t5250(2mb cache/1.5GHz/667Mhz FSB). Now I am aware that a more powerful processor was available on the computer and am interested in possibly purchasing that processor and I have also seen that adding a second processor is possible. Are Either of these cost effective? And is it possible to have a RAM unit that attaches through USB, possilby rediculous, or another port that would be seperate when packed up and ready to go. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
