For crying out loud 1Gb of RAM is $30!! The continuing 'belief' that RAM is expensive is incredible.
BTW my desktop is a different issue. Although already 'old' (a year I think) it was good at the time (E6600 C2D and 8800GTX video). I rebuild mine about once every 12-18 months for about $700 total outlay after selling off my old stuff on eBay  Coming up soon for me is probably a 9800GX2 and Q9550  I'm not a fan of SLI.

I maxed out the RAM on my laptop when I bought it , 2GB , and the same on my desktop , 8 GB.
If I could put more RAM into these ---- I would.
More ram is the bee's knees in speeding up a computer , even a fast harddrive runs at a snails pace compared to the RAM and the pipeline.
