    Use rel=canonical to tell Google that your www pages are the same as non-www. You won't lose any PR then.

    Yeah, 301 redirect also helps. Actually, I would start from the redirect, then go for the canonical tag.

    Add your site to Google Webmaster Tools and select the URL variant you prefer Google to consider.

    Yes, use the google webmaster account to manage this. It is more effective.

    Put this code in your .htaccess which can be found in the rrot directory:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yourdomain.com [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
    </IfModule>
    
    Code (markup):
    Also, use Google webmaster tools to choose the preferred domain as non-www version of your site.

    And the use of Canonical link element will also help;
