Only 2GB? It's certainly not an OS restriction. I'm assuming it must be your MoBo then.

Do you have the exact make/model of your computer? Find a link if you can; I'd like to know more about the motherboard.

If it weren't for that, I was going to recommend this:

I already have one kit that I purchased about 6 months ago and was planning on picking up a second since I started using X64 Vista. $45, DD2 8000/1000mhz. Great modules, rock solid stable (I overclock). Very well received by the people who have bought them.

As for VGA cards, check the following deals on HD4850s. They are all at/under $150 (some with rebates, some without, some well under $150 w/ rebate).

Sapphire (well reviewed, good manufacturer, good benchmarks, great price)

HIS (well reviewed, good price, current special deal w/ memory purchase)

Gigabyte (good brand)

MSI (good brand)

Powercolor (great price, few reviews, looking good so far)

It's a Gateway GT5411e. I put the info in the OP, but here's a link to it's page. I'll add on if I can find anything else on it.

I'll definitely look into these things and see what's best for my budget while still getting my money's worth.
