Why not use that RAM to make programs boot faster? Sounds good to me. Also I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and it is AMAZING. I have had it for 5 months and it hasn't crashed EVER. NOT ONCE. Never have I gotten a virus yet either. It is so fast and is compatible with much more software than MACS are. If you want a nice looking computer with VERY easy to use applications but not much expandibility, get a MAC. If you want a computer that will work with any application you could ever want to use get a PC.
