You sound like you are going to be building a good system.

The Intel 2.6c with an Abit IS7-E motherboard would be a good combo

or

The Ath XP 2500+ with pretty much any decent brand name nForce2 Motherboard would be a good choice.

The 2.6c will be slightly faster but costs more.

Good luck and let us know what you end up with :)

I know that less popular (though usualt better) brands like AMD and ATI are more expensive outside the US than brands like Intel and Nvidia, so if the price difference ain't significant, prefer the 2.6C. Also, the Radeon 9600 Pro is worth the extra cash and is a good choice if the Radeon 9800 Pro and non Pro (never get SE) are too expensive for you.

I know what everyone's been wondering - 2^33634943-1 IS NOT PRIME. Now, wasn't that worth running <A HREF="http://www.mersenne.com" target="_new">Prime95</A> for a month to know?

Try Kingston, if that fails try Samsung as a last resort.

I don't think you will find the words "mushkin" or "Geil" in the dictionary because they are names (there is no definition for someone's name).

You are a "stranger" because you have not put many messages here. He is a "nimble nuckle" because he put 1,100 messages here. Go to FAQ (upper left) it is explained there.

Good Luck with your new computer :)
