Slim PC cases, especially custom PC vendor cases, do not make good upgrades. If you are going to upgrade, also get a new full size case. The extra cost for a new case will be minimal.

4GB is relatively small. If you want to use a 64bit OS you want more than 4GB of RAM or you can't take advantage of a 64 bit OS (and a 64 bit OS uses more of the memory than a 32 bit so you will have less for programs).

I like the case but they arent so expensive so buying a nother one wont be a problem.
How much ram would i need to run a 64 bit version ?

 

[fireberd]

I don't know how much RAM, but the main reason for having a 64 bit OS is that it will address more than 4GB of RAM.

That`s not really an upgrade.

You want at least 8 GB ram with the ability to upgrade to 16 someday.

Thank you both for your replay.
So i went ahead and bought it. with it a new case. its runing great.
as for ram. to be honest i dont really dont that much. i dont play games (maybe i will some day again) but for now i only need my PC for web surfing, listening to music, movies etc.
