RAM should be fast enough for Myth use. You'd be better spending the
money on a faster processor if you wanted to spend more money... For
the laptop drive you will need a converter. It may make sense to just
buy a cheap, reliable and quiet harddrive. I believe the SpinPoint
series is the recommended drive for this application.
