Not really relevant, unless you know what modules they're using... I'm seeing 2GB DDR2-800 sticks listing for anywhere from $50 to $120.
Main point is, though...

You don't need those ~$200 processors. Get him an Athlon II X4 620: 4 cores, $99 USD.

You'd be a fool to get an Intel in this price range. Those A-Power systems are stupid.

And yet, the second system listed there IS the exact Athlon chip you call for, NOT an Intel. Now you're pulling other stuff out of your ass to cover yourself. "Oh, I meant the RAM... I mean the motherboard... I mean..."
Smooth.

John is right - we're concerned about STABILITY and RELIABILITY for a BUSINESS system here, and you're kvetching because they don't build it with the cheapest RAM available?
Tell ya what, you go tweak your game machines, and leave the business systems to those of us that actually use them.
BTW, I'm snapshotting this page as I go... I know you have a propensity for editing and/or deleting other people's posts to cover your own mistakes.
