1. Order with smallest RAM or just a single 512M stick and then add it yourself.
2. I would not suggest Toshiba for a year until they work out of their static funk issues. If it wasn't for that, I would had written.

Just as I decided I was gonna get the zd8000 after months of searching for that perfect laptop, they stop offering 1GB of ram as an option. So its either 512mb which is too little for me or 2GB which is too expensive. Whats a man to do
. Now im back in a pickle because my second option was the Toshiba P30 but it seems the prices on those went up a tad bit, I cant seem to get all that I want for under $2300.
Any other suggestions anyone? Maybe if im lucky then they will bring back the 1GB option by next week. Keeping my fingers crossed.
