Default 4 GB of Memory on a budget

Does the title sound like an oxymoron? Sort of is. Today I found a made ( to me anyway) a great steal. 4x1gb Corsair XMS2 PC2-5400 for 100 dollars. I am sitting here at my desk using Vista 64 bit and 4 gb of memory.

I may do a small write up on how my experience was tommorrow. It's too late today. All I can say is that Vista feels very snappy.

That turtle is an understatement of how snappy Vista is.
