It's debatable today if the 1G RAM pays off. Our dragstrip races on same 2.0GHz P4 with 1G or 0.5G completed within minutes. So the 5 minute savings wasn't worth it.
ALL THIS MAY CHANGE in the 64-bit realm. I see NO reason to stick with 32-bit for this, but today is only a few days early to move out. If you don't mind changing the machine in a year as 64-bit gets more traction, then go with the tried and true.
Look at http://www.tomshardware.com for benchmarks.
