For the most part, I agree. Given the price, I'd go 4GB over 2... but I'd sooner get 8GB and Vista x64. That *will* make a difference on large databases, but only when a x64 postgreSQL for windows is available, IIRC not yet.

EDIT: The additional price for the second Raptor is ridiculous... much more economical to not buy any Raptors from Dell, just a 320GB or whatever.. then fit a pair in "Performance RAID" mode for database use yourself aftermarket... but you'd have to be comfortable doing so.

this reminds me of watching poker, with the railbirds always saying to "Call, call, call!"

It's always much easier to put money into the pot when it's not your money.
