Crucial 2048MB PC5400 DDR2 667MHz Memory

I would say do with DDR-800 PC2-6400. 667 will bog your system down as a bottleneck.

I'm not positive i'd buy a quad core right now...Depending on what you do, a dual 3.0 or 3.2 may be quicker. Also, I wouldn't buy a motherboard with an nvidia chipset..rumor is nvidia may pull production on chipsets i think???? I'd stick AMD?
