AMD is out, as Roger's been bit by them in the past and won't go back. He's also running WinXP, so if the benefits of the AMD64 go out the window (no pun intended) then that's twice the reason not to bother.
While I'm not opposed to an nVidia card, I've not found one with the specs to beat the x800GTO with 256Mb of memory at the $179 price range. If you do, let me know.
In trying to keep the cost down, I've downgraded the processor to the
3.0 vs the 3.2 chip.
Since I've also nixed the idea of DDR2, I found a
different motherboard which has four DDR400 slots, rather than only two.
The Maxtor has sold out, and with the voices of concern over the brand, I found a nice
Seagate for close to the same price.
Thanks for all the info guys.
