Buy all you can (it will never be cheaper) and then find a deal for a fast Hard Drive of about 40 GB for around $40. I got a 7200 rpm 8mb cache Maxtor - it's quiet and fast, and really helped. The memory worked wonders. Mine has a maximum of 512MB, so that's what I got, for about $50. Never spent money more wisely.
