Sorry, I was referring to the 9 cell battery. I think the 6 cell
primary battery doesn't have the protrusion.

I'm struggling with the RAM decision .. 2GB or 4. Under XP I can chew
through my current D800's 1GB RAM very easily so 2GB is the minimum I'll
order. Since I only get a new laptop every 3 years I don't want to
short-change the RAM compared to what I might need a couple of years
from now (getting the company to upgrade is a hassle). And there's a
big price premium for the 4GB option.

I ordered mine with 1gb of RAM on a single dimm ... and I ordered a 2nd
1gb dimm from crucial (which won't arrive until Monday).

Are you getting XP or Vista?
