What about ram? Plus, if your're getting more more than 3GB ram you're going to need 64-bit windows. Go for a 3x2GB kit and Windows 7 64-bit.

Do I have to get 64 bit? I like staying with 32 bit.

What do i need to change on the ram if I stay 32 bit?

upgrade to 64bit rather
most appz run on 64bit nowadays

you don't have to change anything just don't get more than 3gigs because more than 3gigs is useless on a 32bit system
 
Yeah, get 64bit if possible. Try and get the OCZ DDR3 1600 3X2GB KIT. It's the best kit out there from what i've read and it's cheap

Make sure the RAM you get is 1.65v or lower too

Well i like 64 bit for 2 reason mostly.

1. It seems to run faster than 32 bit even with less than 4gb ram
2. I have never been infected by a virus with a 64 bit Windows OS.

Games and apps that are not 64 bit still run fine on 64 windows.

so windows is interchangeable? like if the game is 32 bit... it will run it even if the os itself is 64bit?

Seems like I understand...

Yup 64 bit mostly is just the OS which is smooth, runs really well but it will run any 32 bit app/game you throw at it.
