Sounds good smitty, its ok to have 4 Gigs on RAM, but only if you are going to use a 64 bit system, are you gonna?

If you don't need the system NOW, you might consider waiting until the Intel Core i7's and DDR3 ram becomes cheaper. All the benchmarks show that with identical ram + GPU, the i7 destroys it's competition.
