If you still need windows in your budget, grab a key from kinguin or reddit, they will be about 25 dollars.
if your savvy, you can even overclock this processor to 4 gigs easily. and perhaps as high as 4.4 with the stock fan if you are pretty lucky.
4.2 is also likely attainable, but hit or miss in my experience.
