but I reccomend that you have at least 8GB of RAM unless you wanna run uCLinux.

As a minimum, I certainly agree.

Prior to purchasing my Predators, around a year ago I picked up an Acer 15.6" lappy (brand new) from my local computer store for 360$. It has 256GB SSD, 8GB Ram and AMD Quad-Core CPU. I used It as my test system and must say It functions very well Indeed. The major drawback Is the crappy AMD R3 VC. But for that price (being brand new) particularly with the SSD, I can't complain.
