    You can always look at NewEgg, ZipZoomFly for cheaper RAM.

    You don't mean 2gb single sticks, those cost $800+ ;)

    coriolis, is it much faster having 1 stick of 2Gb of RAM compared to 2 sticks of 1GB RAM, considering that all the RAM sticks are the same frequency, and have the same CAS latency? Is is worth paying the extra money for 1 stick?

    well i do know that running in dual channel has some good performance benefits on the desktop side of things, but apparantly the core duo's have a 64-bit bus that negates any of those benefits.
