I have just ordered the following laptop and have a few questions about my configuration.( know i should have asked BEFORE purchasing but... )

Anyway.. i upgraded the memory to 667MHz because i was told it is best to match the memory speed to the processor speed. Was this accurate info, and was it necessary? What i have paired together, is it the best configuration?

Secondly, I ordered the display upgrade to the True Life WUXGA. I've been reading that this might not be good if you are working with text(which i am). I am NOT watching dvds or gaming, should i have stayed with the WXGA?

I believe i might be able to change my order, or at least return it for a different configuration.

thanks for any and all suggestions.

You cannot "change" orders.  You can cancel and reorder.  Your choice of screen is a bad one as you surmised for using text.  Also, if you're not gaming, upgrading memory speed is a waste of money.
