I want to oc to at least 3.0 on air, but it seems that the memory is going to be the big determining factor in what I can do. What's the best RAM for this setup? (I'll be upgrading the cpu to the q6600 once the July 22nd price cuts hit, but until...

Cheap Wireless Access Point
If you're already buying something from frys.com and want a cheap wireless access point to ship with it, get a WAP11. O'Reilly points out:

Which of these would you guys consider to be the better deal? I need to upgrade my wife's home computer and these both look like good little setups at good prices. She only does surfing and wordprocessing, so her existing system would work, but I want to use it as a fulltime folder, too...
I don't know if this is also online. It comes just in time for me to finish putting together the parts for my new cluster setup.

Thought you all might want to pay attention to which stores may be closing and what kinds of deals might be had next Wednesday. Apparently most of the stores will be in Canada, but all of the stores that are closing will be clearing out existing stock:
