ocz vx value ram is good and cheap ~$110/1GB kit and from what i have read o/c very well.

is there any reason you want a sli board so bad? just get a nf4ultra board.

you say in the first post you are really not a gamer but want a fast system. fast for what? for a responsive system i would get a 74GB raptor in addition or instead of your current hdd and put the os/apps on the raptor.

if you do game, what games do you play?

I like the MSI board because of the extras, especially the onboard soundblaster, audio is important to me and from the review in AT, the audio barely uses any system resources. I like the raptor and memory suggestions, I'll look into that. I'm not into games...yet.

if you like it and are buying it for other reasons than sli that is cool, but atleast get a nvidia card in case you want to game in the future...atleast a 6600gt(don't get an ati card that is ~$290+ when you could get a 6800GT for ~ the same price and then later if needed get another 6800GT and run them in sli mode) and that will keep you good for awhile in the games dept.

msi makes a good board.
