Is 1GB of ram good for running Win7 Ultimate? If not, how much would it cost to upgrade to 2GBS (or more) of ram?

you have to list your system specs for us to know what sort of ram you need
i would consider 2gb the absolute minimum, 4gb is where it runs nice and 8gb is where gaming is great

Although the official requirements for running Windows 7 is just 1 GB, I would not try to run Windows 7 on less than 2 GB of RAM. I think 4 GB is ideal. I once saw my Windows 7 RAM usage go close to 4 GB while installing an anti-virus program.

The cost of another GB of RAM depends on how many modules you currently have -- if you have two memory slots and only one is filled with a 1 GB module, then you only have to buy another 1 GB. If you have only two slots and both are filled with 512 MB, then you would have to toss those out and buy two 1 GB modules.
It also depends on what type of RAM your system uses, either the older DDR2 or the now common DDR3. Prices vary.
