Thanks for the tip. It's partly a psychological pricing thing for me... if the Eee get's much over $400, I start wondering if I should be buying a regular laptop.I realize that it's somewhat an "apple and oranges" thing but still...I will definitely be running Linux and just the bundled software. I want it for school and maybe a little entertainment -- Music and my collection of DivX videos (if those can play. DO you know?)

Having used a 4G Surf for 3 months, I have no desire for more disk. I've got an 8 Gb SDHC ($30) plugged into the side and I'm not worried about space. The 8G also has 1 Gb of system memory instead of 512 Mb like the other models. I expanded my memory to 1 Gb and it really made no improvement in speed -- I'm running easy mode Linux right out of the box. Think about how you're really going to use it: if it's email, web surfing, and occasional documents, the 4G or even the 2G is most likely quite adequate.

Yes it is a good upgrade it is vastly better then the gpu in the consoles, which have a better gpu then a 500 series gtx card. Is it a good upgrade for the high price? Hell no. I bought this for 615 including tax. I have no idea why its 800 or higher now.

both are good choices, they make up for with 4GB excellent times 4 4 4 2, if your motherboard supports 8GB, it would be better to take advantage to the fullest !!!

If your friend just needs it for music, then go with the 30 gig. I bought the 80 gig version, but it's complete overkill for me. I don't watch video on it, or even store photos. I keep about 4,500 songs on there, and it maybe takes up 15gigs or so. You can never have enough space, which is a fact for electronics, so I bought the 80 gig version for myself. If your friend is really into video or photos, then definitely get the 80gig version.

i have a 4G unit, and use a 32G microsd card in it. not sure about the 8G unit, but would think they would be the same, they look exactly the same...

Double the native refresh rate over the UHD model. Very limited 4k content on the market and ISP don't push enough bandwidth. I owned the 9000 and I currently have this exact model. Trust me, the 8000 is better, no matter what Samsung says.

This is a high end card. I looked at the the FTW version of this card before buying the windforce GHZ model. The GHZ gigabyte model has a better overclock and comes with a back plate. It also runs very quite under load and I have been very happy with it so far. Considering buying a second for sli right now. The only real step up currently available is the Gigabyte 780 Ti GHZ edition if you can find it in stock anywhere and it will cost you about $200 more.

Hi Terpsichore, to be honest i dont know, but my guess is that the 4GB one has been discontinued, and when that happens the price goes up. Just buy the one that's best for you and your pocket. DONT BUY THE 4GB Please. :) Hope it helps.

I just placed my order for the 32 GB and here's why: first of all I knew that 16 wasn't enough memory for me personally so I waited until the next memory upgrade came out. But of course, you don't know how much "stuff" the person you're buying it for will put on there.So think in these terms: with the 32 GB, you're essentially only spending 20% ($100) more for DOUBLE the memory. Economically, you're getting much more bang for your buck with the 32 GB. Hope this helps.

Nano is a waste of money, the 8 Gig is the same price as the 30 Gig. I workout 4 days a week w/ the 30 Gig not 1 problem. Your boyfriend will love it, and not look like a dork carrying a Nano!!

This is the 8GB set. You may want to have an HDD or flash drive if you buy the 8GB set. Space gets eaten up VERY quickly. After the installation of the huge update you're left with a little over 2GB

All depends on what you plan to use it for.Usually more is better.I have the 16GB unit and that is fine for me.I will never use the 16GB. But if you plan to download a real lot then get the bigger one.There is an expansion slot on all.

Get two. 3 cards do not justify the price of increased performance which would be small. Remember this card has only two gb of memory. Sli does not double memory no matter how many cards you have you still only have 2 gb of memory. Which in these days really isnt enough. You need 3 gb of memory or more. 1 high end card with 4gb of memory is recommended to future proof yourself. Save and buy a second later.

In this day, considerably, no (seeing as terabyte is available). I imagine you're a music person who listens to a lot of music. If you are, then 32g should be fine for you. If you're someone like me who got a 16g just for my own compositions then you don't need a 32g. You can fit anywhere from 200-300 songs in 1g (depending on the length of the song), so essentially having a 32g would hold about 9,600 songs.Your call. I'd say go for it because you never know what new music you might discover. Plus, it's always better to have extra storage. I would've gotten it myself, but the price was a bit too much.

HI Anne, I got the 4g nano for Christmas. My first Ipod. It's pretty cool. Anyway i have fit 7 hours of video(movies), 1 hour of video podcasts and 130 songs all at once and still had 300mb free. I think for 50 bucks more it's well worth it to double the size. I made my own movies from my dvd's so i left off credits to save space. not sure if an itunes movie would take more space. Hope tha helps

Check out Adorama's website. They're selling packs of two 16Gb Extreme cards (60MB/s) for $125. Slightly cheaper than what they sell them for here. The difference between the newer Extreme and the older Extreme IV is manufacturing cost. Since the IV was made, the technology has gotten better and cheaper, which is reflected in the current prices. The Extreme is better than the Extreme IV.
