Sounds good. Don't know the specific hardware. I'd suggest checking sites like NewEgg.com to see if they sell those exact products and if there are any customer reviews on them. Only suggestion I have is for the memory. It has been suggested by very qualified people on this list to buy all the memory the board will support at once and get them in matched pairs that are certified by the mainboard manufacturer. With the higher speeds and dual channel use, timing is a very critical component for memory compatibility and long-term reliability. For example, if you think 1GB will be good for a year or two and you'll upgrade memory then you may not be able to find it at that time. It may already be out of production and finding compatible memory may not be easy or affordable. Good luck and let us know how it works out. Stan
