    Since only 2GB RAM, Win7 x86 version is what you want to install. IT won't matter which order, RAM or Windows gets installed first, Windows will adjust itself once RAM installed....only possiblity is that if RAM first, then install OS, slightly better chance of page file in contiguous space, or if install OS, then RAM, worst case is 2 sections of drive for pagefile
