I also maxed memory out with 2 512 MB cards and a 40 GB hard drive. It is one smoking machine; the only caveat, battery life is significantly shortened, i.e. I get about 1.5 hours on my batteries which are about 3 years old. I'm about ready to investigate either rebuilding one or buying a replacement. I've held off doing that since I rarely am on battery. In my truck I have a battery adapter that plugs into a lighter outlet. I also purchased one of those rechargable car jumper battery packs that have a lighter outlet so I can use it when I am in our hunting camp in the fall, great for DVD viewing.
