Jimmy - three points...

1) if memory serves, there's only THREE RAM slots in the motherboard, so 
talk of using all four is moot

2) DDR1 is more expensive than DDR2 RAM (at least, checking my wholesale 
prices today - more expensive to buy 512MB of DDR400 than 1024MB of 
DDR2-667)

3) RAM needs only scale up as you keep adding bloated software to a 
system... for most eCS users, 1GB is more than plenty.
