Default Buying a Dell laptop, a couple of questions.

I'm buying a Dell Insperion 9400, and I have a couple of questions.


1) I'm reading all over the place about Dell coupons. Are they only for americans, or can europeans (norwegians) use them as well?

2) Should I go for the 4 MB L2-buffer processor? Will it make a difference?

3) 533MHz or 667MHz RAM. Does it matter?

4) Do I want Bluetooth? Why?

5) Will it run Vista without problems?

yeah, the Core2 systems are Vista ready, Vista will crash them just as well it crashes all other computers.

4M depends on what you are doing with it. Memory intesive data crunching, yeah it will make a difference.

I dont know if you want bluetooth, do you have any bluetooth devices? I wouldnt get it, but I am an old fart.

RAM speed again depends on what you are doing.
