I don't know much about computer specs so I'm in need of some advice...Whenever I go to forums aiming at computers I hardly get replies so I came here. (I love gamespot)

I'm looking to purchase a new laptop for entertainment and media, Home use. For storing music and movies, surfing the web, streaming music and movies from the internet and I'll be multitasking. But I won't be playing games on it.

My questions are: What is the difference between 2GB of RAM and 3 GB of RAM? What would 3 GB of RAM do for me? I won't be recording music or doing visual art... I'm willing to pay up to $800. I've been looking at HP, Toshiba Satellites, and the Lenovo IdeaPad Y530. Also, what laptop do you guys recommend to me for purchasing?

If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time and advice.
