Should I Upgrade RAM? Alternatives?

hello -

I currently have 4 GB RAM, running Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I'm thinking of adding an additional 4 GB, for a total of 8 GB RAM. Does anyone see any reasons not to do this? I just want to max out and never worry about memory again. Not too much load going on at the moment.

Also, what are the alternatives to DELL's 2 GB sticks? They charge $229 per stick, which is ridiculously high. thanks

He's right, memory prices will only drop (unless you wait so long it's antique, a la SDR or RDRAM).
