    First time system builder.

    I'm gonna go w/ the memory idea. By getting the Msi instead of the asus,i'll be saving even more money. I think i'll get 256mb of the mushkin high pref. pc133. Should i get 1x256,or 2x128? I know im asking alot of questions,but this is my first time,and i do want to get things right. Thanks. Lance
