Help choosing componets for computer

Your system will be fine. I have different taste in hardware than you (for instance, I think perfectly flat screens look grainy), but you've picked parts that some other guys (probably you included) would love.

I hope you meant 2x 256 mb rambus module*S*, since they have to run in pairs. If you get one, your screwed. Anyway you have to buy two to make rambus work so I hope you haven't bought 1 yet.

Get a Hard Drive with 8mb cache...they aren't too much more, and since you are already spending that much on the computer why not spend another 20$.

Thanks for all of the replies I think im gonna get that system and the 512 rambus is 2x256 thanks again

I think Enermax may be coming after you for dissing them with no Trademark symbol.

Seeing as you have so much cash why not donate $2000 to charity and spend $1700 on an AMD XP like any normal person?

Lol, dont you hate it when people ask for suggestions on enhancing their system theyre about to buy, then instead simply ignore all of the suggestions and simply accept praise. (Bonafidesham) Although that would be a good system, why not have athink about an AMD system that would save you a lot of money rather than just ignoring those suggestions.

True tom very true but when your spendin, much like me you really do wanna know , ya know..!. Does anyone know about this 32bit rambus rimm (you only need one) and supposedly its faster than two rimms, less ground to cover or something.....does that mean that if you say installed two 32bit rimms they would bottleneck the bus in any way or is that not the issue, I recall hearing that more than two rimms in a system will slow the whole thing down (access times) en stuff...so whats the situation in putting another 512 32bit rimm in in another couple of months or so......anyone......!
