If you are on the West coast of Canada (well, anyone can use this place)... best prices i have found around are at NCIX.com - Canada's Premier Computer Store - Great Technology, Service and Selection.

also on RAM

According to Microsoft, the 32-bit version of Vista is limited to 3.12GB of total available memory: The system memory that is reported in the System Information dialog box in Windows Vista is less than you expect if 4 GB of RAM is installed

....

So you move to 64-bit. With this comes some stiff driver requirements, but what do you get for RAM limitations with Vista 64-bit? Actually, it depends on what edition of Vista you are running: Home Basic is limited to 8GB, Home Premium is limited to 16GB and the other editions (Business, Enterprise and Ultimate) let you get all the way up to 128GB.

Windows Vista RAM Limitations*-*Vista

remember, if you do end up getting 64 bit and looking for more ram and want lots... see how much your motherboard can handle ;p
most are only 8gig i think :c
