You may get 1GB DDR2 RAM and squeeze in some UPS maybe.
It's recommened you get DDR3 RAM. God Forbid, if you need replacement in the future, DDR2 availability and/or pricing maybe problematic later.
There seems to be hardly any price difference between 250GB abd 500GB HDDs but if 250GB HDD saves enough money, you may get that.
