Considering you did mean GB, why on earth do you want 8GB of ram? Are you building a server? I don't even know if Vista will recognize that much ram. For a person on a budget, 2GB should suffice.

EDIT: You're computer is going to be as useful as a bucket of nails unless you thrown in a Motherboard, CPU, and PSU into the mix. Did you have any ideas for those, or are you at a loss?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The barebone PC has the motherboard. Windows vista 64 bit recognizes 8GB RAM. The reason why I want 8GB RAM is because I want speed, and a computer with 2GB RAM and it's not fast enough. Plus the motherboard that comes with it has enough spaces for 8GB.
My bad, my eyes skipped over the barebones part.

Now honestly, unless you are doing some intense video editing, you seriously won't see a difference in speed between 2gb and 8gb (well, that argument is somewhat subjective, but certainly not between 4gb and 8gb).

Also, Jesus Christ, the price on that barebones kit is damn good.

Also, one more thing: If you are ordering from Canada, you should use NCIX.com.

How ya doing, buddy?

Let's not have this argument again, it's been played out too damn much.

Er, the site says you save $70 on the barebones, which is nice, but not phenomenal as you made it sound IMO.
I guess hit me because I paid $300 for my 680i board back in January (mind you it's the eVGA version), $170 for the PSU, etc etc. It just looked really nice on paper.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
