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.
You want SO-DIMMs? Is this for a laptop? From a friend's experience, slapping an SSD in an aging laptop revitalized it and changed his entire experience. I recently made the choice to go with the extra 4GB (for a total of 8GB) of 1066 ram instead of the SSD because I still feel there is room for improvements and reductions in price for the technology whereas the ram is relatively stable.
