OPTION 2 - Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-800 CL4-4-4-12 240PIN Dual Channel Memory Kit (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=24641&vpn=BL2KIT12864AA804&manufacture=CRUCIAL%20TECHNOLOGY

What RAM should I choose out of the two??
I’m not really worried about the media drives right now.. just let me know what you think of the above so far %uF04A thanks…
Again, if you guys have any suggestions or comments at all I’d appreciate it. It's my first build so any input will be much obliged. If you have suggestions for parts please (if you don’t mind) include a detailed description or even better a link. Thanks a lot...
I'm mainly just trying to figure out if all of my hardware will be compatible with eachother and run smoothly ... so if someone could kindly verify that for me or add suggestions for components that will run well togheter i would be much obliged.
On a side note.. I'm not looking for SLi at the moment, and I prefer Intel and nVidia Cards (no Ati- therefore please don't suggest a better motherboard that supports crossfire).
Thanks a lot guys.
