Damn beat me to it :-)

In regard to the RAM, you've got plenty esp in conjunction with the GFX card; that is unless you want to run a server.

personally id spend the extra pennies and go for the WD 120gig with 8mb of cache.

RAM 512MB DDR PC3200 £68.14 Crucial.com/uk
Go for 2 of them, but make sure you buy registered! youll notice the performance.

DEAR GOD WHY INTEL!?!?? save your self a tonne and go for the AMD Barton stuff, get a good HSF and clock that baby all the way to Hell temperatures and laugh at poxy intel stuff ;-) 800mhz fsb dont mean squat if your peripherals dont come upto speed... so why waste that cash? www.overclockers.co.uk do the 3000+ for around the same as you're paying for 2gig.

Hmm...imagine a Barton 3200+ with Corsair XMS 1GB (2x512MB) PC3200 running Sync in dual channel mode on an Asus A7N8X Deluxe V2 and a blue Hercules Radeon 9800 Pro with a mild overclock on the GPU.









Oh sorry, I don't know what came over me....

The introduction of the higher FSB speed and the activation of Hyperthreading has shifted the goalposts in the contest for the world's fastest processor. The AMD Athlon XP has lost further ground; its current flagship model, the XP 3200+, can only manage a performance somewhere in between those of the 2.6-GHz and 2.8-GHz Pentium 4. This brings the small matter of model numbering into question once again.
In the benchmark tests intel seem more cost effective to me,

Oh fer cryin out loud,

Why not an opteron, dual opteons infact, after all its a home desktop machine and 32_bit is dead! Heaven forbid that they should be squandered on the server market

And they'll also help cut down on heating bills in the winter

Personally I've got my eye on a dual 400Mhz Alpha. Beautiful, beautiful chip.

Best,

Ben
