    Given the prices I'd probably go with the third one and get 2GBs of ram and install that. If you need a printer, I'd say go with a canon or an epson. Their inks are usually the cheapest per ml.

    Edit: 2GBs ram here (http://www.memoryc.com/computermemory/ddr2sodimm/2gbpatriot667pc25300kit.html). That should work out at €60 or so with delivery.
