No problem

I would go to Dell's website and type in your PC model. Then you can look up the specs, unless your manual has it already on how much RAM your system can be maxed out to. Then you need to figure out from there what type of RAM is needed based off of the mobo and processor, but all that should be identified either on the site or manual.

2- 1 GB sticks should be fine.

Alright, thanks man.

Okay, after spending some real time with it I'm officially hooked on this player, lol. And that's saying alot considering I was strongly considering going back to the creative. Once you get passed the extra work (tagging mp3's, finding album art, converting and renaming videos, etc.) the actual player itself is probably the best on the market.

I have had some problems with certain songs not synching despite being a readable media type which was very annoying, but even with that gripe I am in love with this player.

Just tried watching videos from my zune on the 360 and it looks great. MS is being savvy by only allowing this feature to work with a zune and not an ipod. This is another reason I bought an 80.

That is awesome! How do you do it? I assume you just plug it in one of the USB slots? Does the player charge while hooked to the 360? That'd be a NICE added bonus since playing movies drains the battery.

Finally, earlier in the thread someone said I-Pod adapters work for this? Does anyone know where I can get a cheap but effective A/C and car adapter that is compatible with the 80?

.
-For album art, I get all of my art from Amazon, Album Art or Wikipedia. I have over 5000 songs alll with art and only a few look blurry on the Zune. I personally love the full screen art and prefer it to how the Ipod shows art.

I'm now loving this as well. I don't know if the Zune updated it or i originally just happened to see all of the bad albums, but about 80% of my album art is very crisp blown up, and the ones that arent are an easy fix with mp3tag, so I'm loving this feature too.

Just plug it in the USB slot.

Great to hear that this is working out for you.

What can I say, change is apparently difficult for me, but as of right now I'm seriously loving this thing.

Once again, thanks to everyone for answering my questions.

EDIT: Just tried the 360 thing, and apparently, you can't play.mp4's. Sucks because that is what all my videos are converted to except one. The 360 found my one .wmv file.

I just got my video cable and hooked it up to my TV. Are the song title/info and album cover supposed to come on the TV as well?

Is there anyway to tell if this is compatible with the 80?

If so I'm getting it. I don't need an FM tuner because I have the cassette adapter, so this would be perfect for me at a very reasonable price.

It is. The USB connection on the 80,30 and 8 are all the same.

Nice! I just bought one.

Now I just need a case.

I heard the official one is pretty bad. What cases are you guys using, and what seems to be the best deal out there.

No case for me. The screen is glass so it doesnt scratch easy and if it does its easily fixed with a glass repair kit. Also there arent a ton of cases available right now for the 80.

a few pages back, I posted about a case from Agent 18 which is excellent from what I hear. I haven't ordered it yet.

I'm thinking about this one from Incipio, for half the price of the official Microsoft one and in much better color than the brown/orange motif. Only thing is I haven't heard much about it.

Hmm...the image isn't showing up when I hook it up with the A/V cable.
