Heads Up: OCZ Vista Upgrade 2 GB RAM
If you're looking for a good deal on 2 GBs of excellent memory, check out the deal at Micro Center:

OCZ Vista Upgrade modules 2 GB, 2x1GB, DDR2 for $69.99.

Micro Center Online - the center of .computer shopping


EDIT: FWIW, I bought this set today and it scores 5.5 in the Windows Performance Index. The only thing keeping my performance low is my HDD performance.

I'm not sure how relevant this score is to determining performance of ram. I get 5.9 with the DDR1 in my system.

Alternatively... I'm not sure how relevant ram performance is in determining overall system performance.

Ram performance is 2nd to processor performance

I totally understand and agree. The only real reason I posted this result is that there are several 'user reviews' stating that this RAM did not score over 5.0 on their system. I'm quite skeptical of the online user reviews because I think all too often the 'review' is posted by someone representing a competitor product. So, I take those with a grain of salt. I think it's true conversely, too. Those reviews giving high praises may be done by those representing the product.

The only thing that really matters is: How well does it perform in MY system.
