Hi, heres what I'm looking at now but I might wait for the dual AMD boards and go for dual 1.2Ghz and if mem prices come down I may consider 512megs DDR.

I'm considering one of those new all in one DVD and burners. I like less clutter and one less thing producing heat and using power.
Raid Fastrac ultra 100
VIEWSONIC 19" E790 .22hdp 1600x1200 76Hz
Speakers????
RT2000 Comes with the Matrox G450-- not great for games.


Good luck

Take Care.

If you're to be running 3D Studio VIZ/MAX then I would go for 512MB. Big improvement on my machine in rendering time.

This new forum sucks
