I just received an email from TigerDirect with the following message:
 If you’re still running a computer with less than 1GB of memory, odds are you aren’t ready for the 64-bit, multi-core PC future. Right now, you can get 1GB of Ultra PC3200 400MHz DDR memory for only $79.99. This 184-pin array features 400MHz memory speed.
Honestly, if you are running a computer with less than 1GB of memory then chances are that box is not going to have a 64-bit multi-core processor added to it. It implies an interesting non sequitur, that if you upgrade your computer to 1GB or more then you will be ready for a 64-bit multi-cored system. First buy the system, then upgrade it.
Technology investments pay off through their use, not through their storage. Unless it is a fabulous deal that won’t ever be repeated (and I have never met one of those with new tech hardware) then save the money and purchase when needed. One of my favorite examples is to watch one particular piece of new technology to see the dramatic fall. You can see one of those at the Open Source Ministry Forum.
