Thx. You guys rock.

Nice build out...

I did a recently did a build with the E6600 and it is nice in its own right.

Looks like a nice machine.

Might want to try the Liteon Lightscribe 20X DVD +-R/RW @Newegg for only $35.00. It was a nice addition.

See it's all in the part number: CM2x1024-8500C5

2x1024...two sticks of one gigabyte RAM
8500.......PC2-8500 AKA DDR2-1066
C5..........CAS latency 5
DS..........double sided

Also confirmed here DDR2-1066.

That really is a nice machine.
