Is this the way to go? http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=1220181546L

Edit: I'm kinda hankerin for an upgrade. Now that I have my new NIC on the way, I'm thinking about either the SSD linked above... or... http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16820231295. I realize the SSD would probably give me more bang than the RAM, but I'm running 4GB 1066 atm and 8GB of 1333 sounds pretty tasty, especially for only $365.00.

What do you guys think? 160GB SSD for $476 or 8GB 1333 RAM for $365? Keep in mind that I do run virtual machines.
