More Information

Im going to be building a system which will be mostly used for gaming. Ive pretty much decided what I want except I want your guys input on what motherboard to get. And what ram to get..Ive gotten mixed reports about what ram to use with what motherboard. I want something reliable and stable.
Im going to be building a
p4 system 2.5ghz
Radeon 9700
512 megs of ? ram
The rest is irrelevant...I was looking at the ASUS P4B533-E  motherboard but if anyone can give me their opinion on a p4 motherboard then that would be great. Thanks!

P4 2.4B processor Retail $185
Albatron PX845PEV PRO motherboard $93 at newEgg
(2) 256MB Corsair XMS DDR400 SDRAM memory modules $112x2 = $224
 
The price/performance of the P4 2.4B is better than the P4 2.53GHz - I assume you mean the 2.53GHz model and not the 2.5GHz model.  I recommend two memory modules as ya may go for a dual DDR setup later on.  The DDR can reach well above DDR420 on this motherboard - a great overclocker.
