What does it matter? It's not going to be a gaming system, it just needs to run statistics software. Going with fancy ram to max out the graphics performance is a waste of money on an already tight budget.
The ram is cheap and the gpu takes up majority of the bandwidth so it helps to max that area out to help with the cpu. I learned that lesson with my E350 and A8 3530mx systems. At first one would think that it wouldn't make a difference until one considers the impact the gpu has on the total available bandwidth.
