great setup!

Don't forget, a system is not complete w/o a good monitor.
Also, don't waste a good system simply for web browing, and games....
Put it to work for you not just staring at the benchmark.

DV editing is a start... 😉

Why not go with 1 stick 256MB Ram? Actually it doesn't matter. Why do you want 3 case fans????

Needs more RAM and more HDD space 🙂

Very good system! I would go with one 256MB instead of two 128MB sticks, but if you already have that memory or you aren't planning on adding more later, I suppose it doesn't matter.

Looks good to me. Do you plan on doing any overclocking with that?

Too late! I bought 2 X 128MB PC133 because it ended up being cheaper and I figured that I'll still have one empty DIMM slot if I want more. By the way it is Crucial memory, I just ordered it this morning before they could raise their prices.🙂

-I don't plan on doing any overclocking anytime soon, but I might possibly overclock in the future.

Tech Q: Why would he want 1 256 instead of 2> 128 sticks? Is the 256 any faster,or you guys recommend that 256 just for future upgrade purposes? Thx

I believe that there is no difference in performance. It's just that motherboards only have a limited number of memory slots.
