it also depends on if his system has 4x1GB sticks, as opposed to 2x2GB sticks. Because to upgrade to 8GB with the former, you would have to buy an entire thing of 8GB, as opposed to 2x2GB, where you can buy another 2x2GB (assuming your MB has 4 slots).

But I agree with the SSD. Windows 7 is a good bet as well - if you decided to get a new computer later on - you can scrap your first one and transfer the licence to the second one.
