Hi Digitians,
I have decided to buy a laptop and have a budget of 35k.I wanted to know if there is a possibility to upgrade any peripheral like RAM or HDD for a higher version than the standard specifications mentioned by the Retailer.and Is it possible for me to Get an Assembled Laptop anywhere in Bangalore:)

Specifications I need:

2.6-3.0Ghz Processor
512MB/1GB RAM
80GB/Higher HDD
DVD Writer

I can Extend my Budget to 40K in case for a Higher RAM or HDD.I would like to use my laptop for browsing,Running applications like PHOTOSHOP,ILLUSTRATOR,Visual Studio e.tc. and No GAMES at all though it might be a diff fact that Laptops r not Good for Gaming than DESKTOPS.As per my Budget and requirements ,I found a nice Little Model named-->Compaq Presario V3155AU
In the above compaq model they have mentioned the PROCESSOR:AMD Turion™ 64 Mobile Technology MK-36 .Does it mean its a 64bit Processor and will it give me any compatibily problem for softwares including my OS?

I would like ur suggestions on this and would take all ur opinion into considerations for the purchase of this latop...Plz Do suggest if there is any other model available not considering the Price/Budget provided it has excellent features and does not arise any problems;-)

EDIT:14 Views but not even a single Reply..Common,Shoot me ur suggestions:)

Will 32 bit applications run on a 64 bit OS? or does it have compatibility probz?
