vantage say the stuff is only avalible as part of a "built by the deal"...you cant just buy a single item at that rate hence its cheaper??? spin??? they then add on £50 to build it all.

seems simple enough.

for future reference i assume WD40 is not the way to stop a squeaky fan ?

Go for it.

Put it this way, the name of the game is trying to future proof as much as possible. You'll only end up buying an inferior product and then a couple months down the line endup upgrading the processor and/or graphics card.

If you need to save money then revert back to your original 1GB RAM. And then buy another 1 or 2 sticks later to make it up to 2GB. But be warned, make sure you buy the same spec and manufacturer of RAM if you are prepared to do this.

How much are you over?
