I may be wrong here but I think Win7 Pro is 64-bit. They might sell 32-bit 7, but I think that's the exception now, rather than the norm.
So, (if it is 64) what that means for you is, motherboard-willing, you can put as much RAM in that thing as you could possibly dream of. I believe that Win7 says that 2GB RAM is recommended to run the OS, so you might want to throw a little extra in there. GSkill has 2GB sticks for under 50USD (shipping not included), but you'll likely want to check and see if you've got DDR2 or 3 before choosing. (also) I dunno where you're gonna get decetly priced RAM though, if Newegg woln't help (just saw that)
As for Graphics, I'd go with NVidia, but that's just mainly because I have a petty grudge with ATI about the piece of shit they call a graphics card they put in my laptop, and I don't want to deal with it anymore.
