I built for myself a really nice computer that didn't cost much, but the performance is *great*. Unless you have a specific purpose for the extra few hundred MHz and extra 128k cache, I'd suggest going with a Duron. I got an 800 for ๙US about 5 months ago, and it overclocks easily to 950. That brings me to the mobo. I have a KT7-RAID. It is a pain to get stuff set up (e.g. my aureal vortex sound card), but after that, it works great, and you can overclock with an easy to use menu system in the bios setup - my favorite feature!

Unless the look is really important, dump the Alienware case for a cheaper alternative and get as much RAM as your pocketbook can afford. Right now at Fry's Electronics, 256MB DDR is at 贍, so it can't be that hard to get more. MORE RAM IS BETTER!!!!!!!

Of course, this is all my very humble opinion, so you can do whatever you think is best :)

ddr ram = dual data rate ram. if it was dds, it could be dual data size or something, but 128 133 ddr ram = 128 266 ddr. twice as face, but just as small. and its cheap as fuck right now, so it wont cost you too much extra to dual a 256 stick.
